Dear Jeffrey, Forum:

I am trying to install GAP on an iBook 900 MHz running Mac OS 10.4.11 with 640 MB of RAM.

I have a basic GAP install compiled. The problem is getting all the packages configured (or otherwise installed).

The packages are installed in the directory /usr/local/lib/gap4r4/pkg/. Inside this directory, there is a shell script InstPackages.sh; I am attaching a copy of InstPackages.sh.

When I cd to /usr/local/lib/gap4r4/pkg/ and run ./InstPackages.sh, I get the error message "tcsh: ./InstPackages.sh: Command not found." (I am running tcsh as my default shell.)

Can someone help me trouble-shoot the package installation process?

[[Added in proof :-} I just noticed that script begins with the string "#!/usr/bin/sh". This actually may be the problem (the shells on Mac OS X are usually in "/bin"). Try changing that to "#!/bin/sh". If that doesn't fix it, read on.]

Justin,

Thanks so much for the reply!

It appears the /usr/bin/sh vs. /bin/sh thing was it. (Obviously, I do zero shell scriping :)) It's running now (and it appears it will be running for some time).

If I have any more problems, I'll email again, but that was it for now.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,
