Hi, I did what you suggested, and it seemed to install the small groups package...
However, is that pretty much all it installs? It looks like it only installed the small groups package and something called "tomlib". In particular, it didn't seem to install the "FGA" package for computing with automorphism groups of free groups. It did fix my problem with all the errors though! thanks, - will On Monday, April 7, 2014 7:02:37 PM UTC-4, John H Palmieri wrote: > > > On Monday, April 7, 2014 3:44:40 PM UTC-7, Will wrote: >> >> Firstly, I'm using a mac (mavericks), and I'm getting the small groups >> package from: >> http://www.icm.tu-bs.de/ag_algebra/software/small/#small >> > > I think that the recommended way to install the GAP small groups package > in Sage is to do > > sage -i database_gap > > Does that help? > > > It downloads to a tar.gz file while unzips to a folder called "small". >> >> I tried putting it in >> "/Applications/Sage-6.1.1.app/Contents/Resources/sage/local/gap/latest/pkg/", >> >> but after reloading gap it wouldn't recognize any of the support functions. >> So instead I put it in "/Applications/Sage-6.1.1.app/Contents/Reso >> urces/sage/local/gap/latest/". >> >> However, upon reloading gap, I get a bunch of errors of the form >> >> Syntax error: warning: unbound global variable in >> /Applications/Sage-6.1.1.app/Contents/Reso\ >> >> urces/sage/local/gap/latest/small/small8/smlgp8.g line 94 >> >> op := DATA.ops[ p ]; >> >> each time referring to various files in the package.
