one way is to look at the shell script that starts GAP. The packages are loaded from the pkg/ subdirectory at GAP_DIR. i.e. you can look at the output of cat `which gap` | grep GAP_DIR From within GAP it seems to be the variable GAP_ROOT_PATHS. I.e. you can do gap> GAP_ROOT_PATHS; [ "/usr/local/src/gap/gap4r4/" ] HTH, Dmitrii > > \bye > > -- > > Nicolas FRANCOIS | /\ > http://nicolas.francois.free.fr | |__| > X--/\\ > We are the Micro$oft. _\_V > Resistance is futile. > You will be assimilated. darthvader penguin > > _______________________________________________ > Forum mailing list > Forum@mail.gap-system.org > http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum CONFIDENTIALITY: This email is intended solely for the person(s) named and may be confidential and/or privileged.
