If I've understood the email correctly, Jerome is trying to install the SCSCP additional package for GAP. As far as I can tell, SCSCP is not packaged for Debian. If I'm right, Jerome, you might note that the GAP SCSCP manual (http://www.gap-system.org/Manuals/pkg/scscp/doc/chap2.html) has the following to say: > To install SCSCP package, put its zoo-archive into the pkg > subdirectory of your GAP4.4 installation and enter the command unzoo > -x scscp-X.X.X.zoo, then the subdirectory scscp (containing > subdirectories doc, lib etc.) will be created in the pkg > subdirectory.

As such, I suspect you want to untar it in /usr/share/gap/pkg/, which is the "pkg subdirectory" for Debian's GAP installations. Note: I haven't tried this. Rupert
