Dear Jeffrey,
I put some notes how to install some GAP packages on Mac OS X here:

Hope that they may help in your situation.
Best wishes,

Hello, again, all!
Thanks so much for your help with the package install script.
It turns out that the install script crashed on the "nq" ("Nilpotent
Quotient") package. The problem appears to be that one of the files
attempts to include the "malloc.h" library, but this package has
been replaced by the "stdlib.h" package on Mac Os X.
I tried just changing the inclusion, but the script appears to run
cvs to download the source files.
Has anyone had any success getting this package to compile on Mac OS
X? I am running Tiger (OS 10.4.11) on an iBook G3 900 MHz with 640
MB of RAM.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Sincerely,

Dear Jeffrey Rolland,
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.)
The error is prompted by the fact that the script wants to run
using `sh' at `/usr/bin/sh', while under OSX sh sits under `/bin/sh'.
You could edit this first line of InstallPackages.sh, tough you
might get similar errors from other packages.

Alexander,
Thanks so much for your reply!
The /usr/bin/sh vs. /bin/sh thing appears to have been it. It's
running
now - yay!
If I have any futher problems, I'll email again, but that was it for
now.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
