GAP requires the ‘gapdoc’ package to function, but it is not distributed with
GAP (we probably should either improve the messages, or not require it, but
that is a longer-term issue).
To get GAP working, run either:
‘ make bootstrap-pkg-minimal ‘ to get just the packages GAP needs to start or
‘ make bootstrap-pkg-full ‘ to get a complete set of packages.

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

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

func( ); at /home/bmaier/Packages/github/gap/lib/system.g:159 called from

Can someone tell me what is wrong?
