I'm on Linux Mint 64-bit version 18 and am trying to build a local version of GAP from the latest source code. I am a software engineer and would like to start contributing to GAP. I pulled code using "git clone https://github.com/gap-system/gap.git";. Ran .configure and then make which had no problems.
But then when I run bin/gap.sh, the system reports this: bmaier@mint-desktop ~/Packages/github/gap/bin $ ./gap.sh ┌───────┐ GAP v4.8.4-702-g80a0966 of 2016-08-16 14:06:52 (CDT) │ GAP │ http://www.gap-system.org └───────┘ Architecture: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-default64 Libs used: gmp Loading the library and packages ... #I gapdoc package is not available. Check that the name is correct #I and it is present in one of the GAP root directories (see '??RootPaths') #I GAP: needed package gapdoc cannot be loaded Error, failed to load needed package `gapdoc' (version >= 1.2) at /home/bmaier/Packages/github/gap/lib/package.gi:1836 called from func( ); at /home/bmaier/Packages/github/gap/lib/system.g:159 called from <function "CallAndInstallPostRestore">( <arguments> ) called from read-eval loop at /home/bmaier/Packages/github/gap/lib/init.g:770 It still actually runs most simple commands. However when I try to run the command "Factorial(8);" I get this: Error, Factorial: function is not yet defined in <compiled or corrupted statement> called from func( ); at /home/bmaier/Packages/github/gap/lib/system.g:159 called from <function "CallAndInstallPostRestore">( <arguments> ) called from read-eval loop at *errin*:2 Can someone tell me what is wrong? -Bill _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
