William, Michael, I re-installed gap by compiling it in 32 bit mode and that got rid of the error. gap, it seems doesn't support 64 bit mode. Now, I am dealing with some startup errors such as: /usr/local/PET/src/build/64/sage-2.10.2/local/lib/liblinboxwrap.so.0: undefined symbol: _gfortran_st_write
and if I can manage to get rid of this, I see others such as: import sage.matrix.matrix_space File "/usr/local/PET/src/build/64/sage-2.10.2/local/lib/python2.5/ site-packages/sage/matrix/matrix_space.py", line 42, in <module> import matrix_integer_dense ImportError: /usr/local/PET/src/build/64/sage-2.10.2/local/lib/ libiml.so.0: undefined symbol: cblas_dswap >>> Is there any site specify file where I can turn off the default loading of some of these libraries so I can see what I need to re- compile? The problem with ld being used in several packages is that it expects 32 bit code. I couldn't find a ld -m64 option to generate shared objects in 64 bits. So, I ended up using gcc -m64 -shared -o lib.... or xlc_r -q64 -G -o lib... instead. And some of the dependencies need to be resolved better.
