Hello
I have some trouble with Goppa Codes
Here is the problem

gap> x := Indeterminate( GF(2), "x" );;
gap> L := Elements( GF(8) );;
gap> G := x^2+x+1;;
gap> C := GoppaCode( G, L );
Error, no method found! For debugging hints type ?Recovery from

Error no 1st choice method found for `CoefficientsRing' on 1 arguments

VerticalConversionFieldMat( M, DefaultField( Flat( M ) ) ) called from
VerticalConversionFieldMat( List( [ 0 .. r - 1 ], function ( i )
return List( L, function ( j )
return j ^ i / Value( GP, j );
end );
end ) ) called from

Entering break read-eval-print loop, you can 'quit;' to quit to outer
loop,
or you can return to continue
