2 Installation of the IO-package
  
  To  get the newest version of this GAP 4 package download one of the archive
  files
  
      io-x.x.tar.gz
  
      io-x.x.tar.bz2
  
      io-x.x.zip
  
  and unpack it using
  
  gunzip io-x.x.tar.gz; tar xvf io-x.x.tar
  
  or
  
  bzip2 -d io-x.x.tar.bz2; tar xvf io-x.x.tar
  
  or
  
  unzip -x io-x.x.zip
  
  respectively.
  
  Do  this  in a directory called pkg, preferably (but not necessarily) in the
  pkg  subdirectory  of  your  GAP  4  installation. It creates a subdirectory
  called io.
  
  The package will not work without the following compilation step.
  
  To compile the C part of the package do (in the pkg directory)
  
      cd io
      ./configure
      make
  
  If  you installed the package in another pkg directory than the standard pkg
  directory  in  your  GAP  4  installation,  then  you have to do two things.
  Firstly during compilation you have to use the option --with-gaproot=PATH of
  the configure script where PATH is a path to the main GAP root directory (if
  not given the default ../.. is assumed).
  
  Secondly  you  have to specify the path to the directory containing your pkg
  directory  to  GAP's  list  of directories. This can be done by starting GAP
  with  the -l command line option followed by the name of the directory and a
  semicolon.  Then  your  directory  is  prepended  to the list of directories
  searched.  Otherwise the package is not found by GAP. Of course, you can add
  this option to your GAP startup script.
  
  
  2.1 Recompiling the documentation
  
  Recompiling  the  documentation  is possible by the command gap makedoc.g in
  the io directory. But this should not be necessary.
