I just built sage-7.3 under Centos7. Everything seems to have worked well : sage comes up fine and a few simple calculations work. The gap part on its won also comes up and works with simple tests, but there are no packages included.
I'm now trying to add all the gap packages to the gap component. I tried to follow the steps in : https://wiki.sagemath.org/InstallingGapPackages The gap version in sage-7.3 is 4r8p3 which is one version older than the latest gap. To play it safe I downloaded the version that matches sage and expanded it in a temporary directory. I then started sage shell : sage -sh and copied the contents of the "pkg" subdirectory from the temporary area to the sage area (sage/local/gap/latest/pkg/....). I built a couple of the packages and that worked fine. I then exited the sage shell. Following the instructions I then called sage and typed : gap_reset_workspace() I got a "WARNING : this should never happen" and it seems that sage got stuck somewhere. Also calling the gap on its own shows that the package installation didn't work. I think this shouldn't be too hard to fix, but I'm out of ideas.
