[GAP Forum] problem with AutomorphismGroup

[Alexander Konovalov]

Dear Markus,

For me, this works fine, both with default packages and without packages,
for example:

GAP4, Version: 4.4.12 of 17-Dec-2008, i686-apple-darwin10.8.0-gcc
Components:  small 2.1, small2 2.0, small3 2.0, small4 1.0, small5 1.0, 
             small6 1.0, small7 1.0, small8 1.0, small9 1.0, small10 0.2, 
             small11 0.1, id2 3.0, id3 2.1, id4 1.0, id5 1.0, id6 1.0, id9 1.0, 
             id10 0.1, trans 1.0, prim 2.1  loaded.
Packages:    AClib 1.1, Polycyclic 2.8.1, Alnuth 2.3.1, AutPGrp 1.4, nq 2.2, 
             GAPDoc 1.3, IO 3.3, CrystCat 1.1.3, Cryst 4.1.6, CRISP 1.3.4, 
             CTblLib 1.1.3, TomLib 1.1.4, FactInt 1.5.3, FGA 1.1.0.1, 
             IRREDSOL 1.2, LAGUNA 3.5.0, Sophus 1.23, MIPLib 1.0, 
             Polenta 1.2.7, ResClasses 3.0.0  loaded.
gap> AutomorphismGroup(DihedralGroup(8));
<group of size 8 with 3 generators>

Which version of GAP are you using? How did you install it? 
Could you copy-and-paste the exact GAP session where you have this error?

Best wishes,
Alexander
