> I think the problem is this: if you install "database_gap-4.4.12" by
downloading the spkg file and typing
> {{{
> sage -i PATH_TO/database_gap-4.4.12.spkg

> then it is installed, but the spkg file is not copied to
SAGE_ROOT/spkg/optional or to SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard. There is a
placeholder file in SAGE_ROOT/spkg/installed, and this is probably what
you should look for to test whether it's installed -- this is what the
file SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-spkg does.
... and this is what I did in my spkg-install (for exactly the reason you
explain):
{{{
SMALL_GROUPS=`cd $SAGE_ROOT/spkg/optional/;
$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/newest_version database_gap`
if [ "$SMALL_GROUPS" = "" ]; then
SMALL_GROUPS=`cd $SAGE_ROOT/spkg/installed/;
$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/newest_version database_gap`
if [ "$SMALL_GROUPS" = "" ]; then
echo "Failed to find SmallGroups library. Please install the
database_gap spkg"
exit 1
fi
fi
}}}
Cheers,
Simon
