So the main FTP servers are: <p> <pre> ftp://ftp-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/pub/gap/gap4/ ftp://ftp.math.rwth-aachen.de/pub/gap4/ ftp://ftp.ccs.neu.edu/pub/mirrors/ftp-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/pub/gap/gap4/ ftp://pell.anu.edu.au/pub/algebra/gap4/ </pre> <p> You need only one file with the name ``xgap4r11.zoo'' which is in the subdirectory for the share packages. When you installed <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> you used the utility <var>unzoo</var> to unpack the distribution. You will need this here again. See the <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font>-manual for instructions on how to get and compile this. You now change your current directory to the <code>pkg</code> subdirectory of the location where you installed <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> (you typed an <var>unzoo</var>-command, then a new directory called ``gap4'' or something like that was created, this directory contains the <code>pkg</code> subdirectory). The standard location would be: <p> <pre> # cd /usr/local/lib/gap4/pkg </pre> <p> Now you extract the sources for the XGAP share package: <p> <pre> # unzoo -x xgap4r11.zoo xgap/README -- extracted as text xgap/Makefile.in -- extracted as text xgap/configure -- extracted as text xgap/configure.in -- extracted as text xgap/init.g -- extracted as text xgap/cnf/Makefile -- extracted as text xgap/cnf/Makegap.in -- extracted as text xgap/cnf/Makegap.top -- extracted as text xgap/cnf/config.hin -- extracted as text xgap/cnf/configure.in -- extracted as text xgap/cnf/configure.out -- extracted as text xgap/doc/answers.tex -- extracted as text xgap/doc/diffgap3.tex -- extracted as text /bin/mkdir: cannot make directory `xgap': File exists ... </pre> <p> Note that the warning is <strong>not</strong> serious. <p> The <var>unzoo</var> utility unpacks the files and stores them into the apropriate subdirectories. XGAP resides completely in the following subdirectory (assuming standard location): <p> <pre> /usr/local/lib/gap4/pkg/xgap </pre> <p> <p> [<a href = "C003S000.htm">Up</a>] [<a href ="C003S002.htm">Previous</a>] [<a href ="C003S004.htm">Next</a>] [<a href = "theindex.htm">Index</a>] <P> <address>xgap manual<br>Mai 2003 </address></body></html>
