Issue with GAP in SageMath 10.3 when using PyCharm, but no issue in JupyterLab

edit

Hi, I've been struggling for the past few days to figure out why my code is unable to run in PyCharm. I would really appreciate any guidance to resolve this.

I've changed my System Interpreter in PyCharm to SageMath's, defining the path

/private/var/tmp/sage-10.3-current/local/var/lib/sage/venv-python3.11.1/bin/python3

Below is a sample test code I use:

from sage.all import *
B = matrix(GF(3), [
    [2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1],
    [2, 0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 0, 0],
    [0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 2, 2, 1],
    [2, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 1],
    [1, 0, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2],
    [2, 2, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 1, 1, 2],
    [0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0],
    [0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1],
    [2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 0],
    [0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 0, 0]
])
print('Rank')
print(B.rank())

C = codes.LinearCode(B)
#below is problematic
C.minimum_distance()

In PyCharm, I am able to find the rank, and also construct the LinearCode object. But I can't seem to use the minimum_distance function.

I run into an error suggesting I can't access the GAP functionalities

TypeError: unable to start gap because the command 'gap -A -l "/private/var/tmp/sage-10.3-current/local/lib/gap;/private/var/tmp/sage-10.3-current/local/share/gap" -b -p -T -E -m 64m  /private/var/tmp/sage-10.3-current/local/var/lib/sage/venv-python3.11.1/lib/python3.11/site-packages/sage/ext_data/gap/sage.g' failed: The command was not found or was not executable: gap.

For completeness, the full error message is below:

I encounter no such issue in JupyterLab when I open it directly from the SageMath Launcher, and run the same code. How should I configure my PyCharm for this? Thank you!
