Dear Forum
I have been using the port of GAP to Macintosh by Burkhard Hoefling,
and I realized that the command "RequirePackage" does not work. For
example,
gap> RequirePackage("weyl");
Error, share library "weyl" is not installed in
LoadPackage( name ) called from
RequirePackage( "weyl" ) called from
main loop
brk>
A simple fix is to add the following line to the file "gap.rc":
LIBNAME := "lib/";
Alternatively, one can add the following line to the file "gap.options":
-l lib/
(Thanks to Burkhard for pointing this out.) Of course, this assumes
that your lib folder and pkg folder are in the same folder containing
GAP application.
