Hi, I am unable to install GAP 4.5 using BOB.
I think I followed all the instructions on this page: http://www.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~neunhoef/Computer/Software/Gap/bob.html#installprereq . Firstly, I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 on a new system, which did not have Xcode. So I started by installing XCode, and then installing MacPorts. After this I downloaded bob-osx.dmg, and then ran that. I then ran the 'bob' script, but I got the following output: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sudo port install readline +universal ncurses +universal gawk wget xorg-libX11 xorg-libXaw WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information. To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.

Firstly, it is saying that Xcode is lacking some components, but it is up to date. Could it be a problem with file permissions? I have turned-on FileVault (the file encryption system), and firewall, and have selected a security option which only allows those applications to be run which have been downloaded from the Mac App store or from "identified developers". Any help or suggestions as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Sandeep. _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
