Failure to build SageMath

[Georgios Giapitzakis Tzintanos]

Hello,

I am new here so please excuse my ignorance. When I updated Sage to the latest beta (Sage 8.9.beta5) and ran make I got an error when building package gap-4.10.2.p0. I am attaching the log file. The main error message I am getting is this:

[gap-4.10.2.p0] cp: cannot overwrite directory /Users/giorgosgiapis/Desktop/sage/local/./share/gap/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin18.5.0-default64-kv3/src with non-directory /Users/giorgosgiapis/Desktop/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/gap-4.10.2.p0/inst/Users/giorgosgiapis/Desktop/sage/local/./share/gap/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin18.5.0-default64-kv3/src

[gap-4.10.2.p0] ************************************************************************

[gap-4.10.2.p0] Error copying files for gap-4.10.2.p0.

Thank you.

This is the same issue than https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/cdw793St6cE

So try to remove local/share/gap/ and local/lib/gap by hand and then build again.
