Dear Sandeep, it looks as if you start GAP in a wrong way. (cause these > Error, file "-L" must exist and be readable > Error, file "-m" must exist and be readable > Error, file "128m" must exist and be readable > Error, file "-o" must exist and be readable > Error, file "512m" must exist and be readable things are mangled details of command line arguments...)
One way that works is to start it in a Terminal window. Another is to use a special MacOSX application.
