Dear Forum,

I suppose that you are using one of my Macintosh ports of GAP
(distributed as bin3r4p2-mac-syc-101.sea.bin (68k code) or
bin3r4p2-mac-pt1.02-ppc.sea.bin (PowerMac)). In this case, the problem
can be solved (principally) by adding "-l lib/" to the gap.options file
in the GAP directory. This should work with the Weyl package. However,
the Guava package contains a standalone application, which has not been
ported to the Mac yet. If you *really absolutely* need Guava, I might try
to compile it for you (now that I have the means to do so), but this might
take some time.

BTW: the help file spells it "GUAVA", but unzoo creates the folder
(directory) "guava".

This does not matter, since file names are not case sensitive on the Mac.

Finally, the title of the GAP window is GAP 3.4.2. Shouldn't it be 3.4.3??

Actually yes, but the GAP application has not changed since GAP 3.4.2, so
I didn't ship a new application.
