Dear GAP Forum,

This fix corrects:
....
6) Compilation problems on FreeBSD.
....

So, hopefully, applying this bugfix before compiling will resolve Jef's
problem.

That seemed to do it. Thanks!

In general, we would recommend that anyone downloading GAP installs all
current bugfixes immediately, rather than trying to get the system working
without them first. In general bugfixes only fix bugs, they do not introduce
new features, so they should generally simplify things, not complicate them.

A clean FreeBSD port could automatically include such bug fixes and
prevent further questions from spuds like me who don't RTFM.

Just a suggestion...

Anyway, thanks for the help. Now on to the REAL challenge...getting the
package my faculty member wants to work going...
