[GAP Forum] GAP 4.11.0, macOS 10.15.7, Several packages not building

[Murray Eisenberg]

I’m trying to get GAP 4.11.0 installed uner macOS Catalina 10.15.7 but am getting several packages seeming to complete their configuration OK but then failing to build:

CddInterface-2020.01.01
xgap-4.30
semigroups-3.2.3
NormalizInterface-1.1.0
guava-3.15
anupq-3.2.1

The errors seem to be for different reasons among the various packages. 

Is there some systematic, common problem here, rather than different underlying causes for the different packages?

Examples of the build errors:

CddInterface-2020.01.01
