If sage is using a separate copy of GAP that it built, then just changing the path to the binary is not enough. It will also be using a separate copy of the libgap library for most things, and that copy of libgap will be unable to use the packages that you have installed in your "normal" GAP. For a quick fix, install the gap_packages SPKG. It contains Guava. For a better fix, try to find a version of Sage (10.4?) that will use your existing GAP 4.12.2. (Unfortunately Sage 10.5 will reject anything older than GAP 4.13.0.) In the long term, we know that this is pretty confusing, and it would be a lot nicer IMO if we refused to build a separate copy of GAP and instead told the user to install it. The same goes for things like GCC, python, flint, pari, etc. that can easily be installed on any system. But GAP is particularly annoying for power users because of the way its packages are (not) handled. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
