Thanks for the quick reply. I tried the command
sage: install_package("gap_packages-4.4.10_4")
After listing many files that it was installing, I got the following
error message:
sage: An error occurred while installing gap_packages-4.4.10_4
Please email sage-devel http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel
explaining the problem and send the relevant part of /usr/local/sage/
install.log.
The message goes on, including a possible way to try to fix it myself,
using bash. I don't know what bash is.
I couldn't find the install.log file anywhere on my computer.
Any further suggestions? Thanks again.
