I know it is a stupid question, but you say symbolic shows in "pkg list" and 
do not mention if it is really loaded.
Does pkg load symbolic change that behaviour?
Or may be some dependency (ginac) is not installed, can you check that (if 
that is the case and your symbolic comes from the ubuntu packages it would be 
a bug to be reported to ubuntu).
