GAP runs very well under UNIX. In fact it is being developed on UNIX workstations. GAP running on any UNIX machine should behave exactly as described in the manual.
GAP has successfully been compiled and installed on the following UNIX machines:
DECalpha under OSF 3.2 with GNU cc 2 or cc, HP9000 under HP-UX with GNU cc 2, IBM PC under Linux with GNU cc 2, IBM RS/6000 & AIX with GNU cc 2, SGI Mips under IRIX 5/6 with gcc2 or cc, Sun Sparc under Solaris with GCC 2 or cc.
We hope that compiling and installing GAP on another UNIX machine does not pose any problem. If it does, please inform us of your problems (and, if possible, of your solution).
The section Installation of GAP for UNIX describes how you install GAP on a UNIX machine. See Chapter Running GAP for information about command line options that GAP accepts under UNIX.
