Hello, I am trying to use the cvec package to have compressed matrices over GF(2). But I do not see much difference - see below example log from my GAP session.
I have installed newest GAP 4.7.5. I have 8 GB memory and system Windows 7 (64-bit). I have read in cvec package documentation that I should recompile or configure it ... "For example you have to specify 32-bit or 64-bit mode correctly!". But I don't know how to do it.
