A colleague of mine had the same problem. It turned out that there are two
versions of -gam- available: one from STB, and one from SSC (which is more
recent). We have deleted the already installed gam-files, and installed
the SSC version. After that, everything worked fine. You can get the SSC
version by typing:
-ssc desc gam-
and then
-ssc get gam-
Alternatively, you can manually download the files from here:

good luck!
