 Hi all,
 I was trying to run a GAP session inside sage, with gap_console() and
 when the Smallgroups library is needed, I obtain an error:

 Error, the Small Groups library is required but not installed called
 from
 function( arguments ) called from read-eval-loop
 Entering break read-eval-print loop ...
 you can 'quit;' to quit to outer loop, or
 you can 'return;' to continue


 The Small Groups library is suposed to be instaled by default in GAP,

This is incorrect. In fact, the authors of that library decided to use a
distribution license which is not GPL-compatible, so I think it should be
distributed separately, for legal reasons. To install it (and some other
libraries), type

sage -i database_gap-4.4.10

 but apparently it isn't, I don't know wether it actually is installed
 but Sage does not detect it (which I doubt) or it is missing (which
 surprises me).

 Can anyone help finding this library or installing it?

 Thanks in advance

 E.
