Graham, which package would you like to install? Even if it uses no compilation, it may depend on other GAP packages which should be installed as well. Some of these may require compilation, some not. Dependencies are described in PackageInfo.g file in the package root directory, and also on package overview pages, e.g. like here: http://www.gap-system.org/Packages/digraphs.html
