Someone else will answer about these problems privately. However, for any 
problem about installing Gap, feel free to write to support at gap-system.org .

Note also that even without these two packages, all the other parts of Gap are 
expected to work correctly.

My suggestion about computing Groebner Basis and solving polynomial Systems
in Gap is to use the Gap package "singular", which is included in the packages 
that you have already installed.

(I'm going to release a new version of the package "singular" soon, and that 
will be announced in the Gap-forum. Before that, you can get an up-to-date 
version of the documentation at 
http://www-math.science.unitn.it/~costanti/manual.pdf .)

All the best,
Marco Costantini
