Hello. I want to use the openmath package, but have run into some strange problems in trying to installing it.
I downloaded the package file, and unzipped it inside the pkg subdirectly inside the gap4r4 folder. According to the README file, I am supposed to compile a C file with name 'configure' inside the pkg/openmath/OMCv1.3c/src subdirectory with the command: /bin/sh ./configure Initially, the gcc compiler (on my MacBook running Mac OS X 10.6.8) did not work, this was the error message: loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... (cached) gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. So installed the XCode tools package from the Leopard upgrade CD and recompiled. This was the output: loading cache ./config.cache ./configure: line 508: /dev/null: Permission denied checking for gcc... (cached) gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... ./configure: line 635: /dev/null: Permission denied yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... yes checking whether we are using GNU C...

I cannot run GAP 4 at all now. I would appreciate some help.
