You'd have to tell GAP to use this special directory, and it would only work for this particular optional package. I don't see a good way to do what you want in general for optional packages. If you want to customize a Sage install, then you should just install your own copy of Sage in your home directory. --Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
