fail to LoadPackage("ZeroMQInterface")

[startxing]

I have an issue to load the package "ZeroMQInterface". Below is what it shows:

@startxing thanks - could you please add which operating system do you use, which GAP distribution?

[fingolfin]

You need to compile the package as stated in the package manual. But first you need to install zeromq.

Looking at your screenshot, it seems you might be using https://github.com/gap-system/homebrew-gap which ideally would take care of stuff like that, but doesn't. Unfortunately it is unmaintained

I am using macOS Sonoma (version 14.1.1) and GAP version 4.12.2.

Yes, 'zeromq' has been installed. But LoadPackage("zeromqinterface") fails.

To reiterate: you need to compile zeromqinterface

I did this (./configure; make). Still LoadPackage("zeromqinterface") fails. ![Uploading WX20240608-212148@2x.png…]()

@startxing I can't see the screenshot in the last comment.

Instead of screen shots, could you please copy & paste the actual text?

you said you did run configure&&make for the package, but did they actually succeed? What is the output of those commands?

[olexandr-konovalov]

Moreover, the screenshot does not include the text above the Packages line which is also essential, e.g.

Would this be okay?

[olexandr-konovalov]

Do you have another GAP installation? Are you sure that gap calls the GAP for which you have just compiled the package? What is the path to the directory in which you built the package, and what does which gap say? Or even more informative, try

ls -la `which gap`

I am not sure.

what does which gap say?

It says /usr/local/bin/gap -> ../Cellar/gap/4.12.2/bin/gap

I've made a fresh installation of GAP 4.13.0 from https://github.com/gap-system/homebrew-gap and it works there. You may try to upgrade it as its README explains.

Thanks, @olexandr-konovalov and @fingolfin a lot! Now it works perfectly!
