Hello,
I'm attempting to upgrade the version of GAP that is used in SAGE. I installed the most recent version of GAP 4.8.8. When I open SAGE and run
gap.version()
4.8.3
I know I can point the GAP console in SAGE to the 4.8.8 version of GAP by running:
import sage.interfaces.gap
GAP_PATH = "/home/captainhampton/gap4r8/bin/gap.sh"
sage.interfaces.gap.gap_cmd = GAP_PATH
which is where I've installed the 4.8.8 version of GAP. Indeed, if I run
gap.console()

However, if in SAGE, this does not change gap.version(). It still gives 4.8.3. Is there a way I can point this gap to the 4.8.8 version? Thanks.
