I am using SageMath 9.1 on a Window machine.
I would like to install the gap_packages optional package, so I typed the following into the shell.
sage -i gap_packages
This gives the following output (repeating indefinitely):
make build/make/Makefile --stop
make[1]: Entering directory '/opt/sagemath-9.1'
make build/make/Makefile --stop
make[2]: Entering directory '/opt/sagemath-9.1'
make build/make/Makefile --stop
make[3]: Entering directory '/opt/sagemath-9.1'
make build/make/Makefile --stop
make[4]: Entering directory '/opt/sagemath-9.1'
make build/make/Makefile --stop
make[5]: Entering directory '/opt/sagemath-9.1'
make build/make/Makefile --stop
make[6]: Entering directory '/opt/sagemath-9.1'
make build/make/Makefile --stop
make[7]: Entering directory '/opt/sagemath-9.1'
make build/make/Makefile --stop
make[8]: Entering directory '/opt/sagemath-9.1'
...
The same behavior occurs whenever I try to install any of the other optional packages.
Where am I going wrong here?
