How to call GAPs SmallGroup from sage? (I am getting an error, though the correct library is installed.)

I am trying to call GAP's SmallGroup program from within SAGE.

When I run gap_console(); from Sage I have the banner that indicates the SmallGroup library is present:

Components: small 2.1, small2 2.0, small3 2.0, small4 1.0, small5 1.0, small6 1.0, small7 1.0, small8 1.0, small9 1.0, small10 0.2, id2 3.0, id3 2.1, id4 1.0, id5 1.0, id6 1.0, id9 1.0, id10 0.1, prim 2.1 loaded. Packages: CTblLib 1.1.3 loaded.

Moreover, I can use SmallGroup from within this session of GAP run in SAGE.

The problem is that when I try to run SmallGroup from within SAGE (via gap.SmallGroup(12,3) for instance)

I get the error copied below, which suggests that SmallGroups is not installed in GAP (even though it is):

What can I do?

I loaded the version of GAP that I downloaded seperately instead of the one that came with SAGE via the commands:

import sage.interfaces.gap sage.interfaces.gap.gap_cmd = "/usr/bin/gap -r"

Thank you very much!

Update:

Running ./sage -i database_gap gives this error:

Run 'sage -i database_gap`, that solved it for me. I am going to check why the wrong message is apparently returned.

Hi Nathann,

When I run 'sage -i database_gap' I get an error which I will add to my original question because it is too long to post here.

This is due to a recent change in our hosting. Not your fault, but the only thing you can do is download a more recent version of Sage. If you have further questions and need to post long logs, please write to sage-support instead: this forum is " okayish" for simple questions, but it's hard to read long logs and you have no way to insert them in your 'comments'.

Err sorry, there is something that you can do (though you really should use the latest version of Sage): download this file into /Applications/Sage-6.5.app/Contents/Resources/sage/upstream/: http://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/sagema... You can then run 'sage -i database_gap' again.

Thanks - that worked perfectly.
