Barry load bug

[SupposeNot]

Barry installed release 0.6.2b, and the following occurred during his session:

gap> # Gap is working;
gap> Order(Group((1,2,4)));
3
gap> LoadPackage("RAMP");

I have a sneaking suspicion there may be a conflict between some of his existing functions that he autoloads, and something in the language of RAMP, but could also be something buggy about the version of GAP he's running or that he's on linux.

Will work with him on it.

I think I see how to fix this - should be a quick fix I hope.

[CunningGabe]

OK, it might be fixed now in 4c98de09538fb548f6ca2d570a2e0be2535ffdc4. At least, I tried to address the loading error on line 13 of utils.gi. Can you have him try with this new version?

[SupposeNot]

What does the fix do?

[CunningGabe]

The error was on the definition of RampPath, which is used in spots where we want to load a file - RampPath was supposed to be a system-independent way of saying "this is where Ramp is". Turns out, that functionality already exists in GAP, and what I was using didn't work for Barry.

If he still has a problem, then it's probably related to the fact that the ramp folder is ramp-0.62-stuff. Ping me and I'll take another look.

[SupposeNot]

Update fixed problem.
