Dear Forum,

I have been facing a strange problem while trying to install GAP 4.8.10 on
OSX High Sierra. After typing *./configure* command from the folder
location, I get the following error:

Kashyaps-Mac-Pro:gap4r8 kashyaprajeevsarathy$ ./configure

./configure: line 470: sed: command not found

./configure: line 469: expr: command not found

./configure: line 470: sed: command not found

./configure: line 484: sed: command not found

: error: cannot create .lineno; rerun with a POSIX shell

I would be great if you could help deal with this issue.

Best regards,
Kashyap

Dear Kashyap,

you need XCode command line tools to be installed.
(GAP docs ought to mention this...)

Hope this helps,
Dmitrii
