Dear Issac, You're likely using apt to install GAP. Instead, I suggest to use the GAP source distribution from https://www.gap-system.org/Releases/4.11.0.html, which comes together with all packages redistributed with GAP. The top of this page has brief instructions which suffice for most cases:
./configure make cd pkg ../bin/BuildPackages.sh You will have to download and unpack one of the archives, e.g. https://files.gap-system.org/gap-4.11/tar.gz/gap-4.11.0.tar.gz change to the gap-4.11.0 directory, and then perform the commands above. Please let me know if this will work. Best wishes Alexander > On 11 Dec 2020, at 17:22, Isaac Oppong <isaac.opp...@aims.ac.rw> wrote: > > Dear all, > > My laptop got damaged.
