Has anyone gotten the linux version of gauss (a math and statistics
package featuring nice matrix processing capabilities, see
www.aptech.com) to work under stable? I have installed the latest
linux version of gauss (3.2.43), linux_lib-2.6, and 2.2.8-Stable
(cvs'd around 1:00pm Nov. 30).
Gauss seems to have an interface program (gauss) which calls another
program to carry out the actual calculations (gex). Starting gauss
gives:
----------
neale [rdmurphy]% /usr/local/gauss/gauss-3.2.43/gauss -v
GAUSS Version 3.2.43 (Nov 11 1998)

(gauss) call ols("",rndu(7,5),rndu(7,1));
(gauss) x = { 1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6};
(0) : error G0008 : '' : Syntax error
(gauss) x = { 1 2 3, 4 5 6 };
(gauss) quit
GAUSS terminating...

I've typed four commands at the command prompt; "quit" correctly exits
and the second matrix assignment (with the ;) correctly indicates a
syntax error. The other two commands ("call ols" and "x =") generate
no output, but the following system messages:
----------
Dec 9 15:08:02 neale /kernel: pid 3753 (gex), uid 1000: exited on signal 11
Dec 9 15:10:32 neale /kernel: pid 3769 (gex), uid 1000: exited on signal 11
----------
If you've gotten gauss to run, I'd love to hear how you did it. If
you have any suggestions on what might be wrong, I'd love the hear
those as well.
I've installed linux_devel-0.2 and linux_kdump-1.0, but didn't learn
too much from trying out linux_kdump (I didn't know much about what to
look for). If anyone has any pointers, I'm willing to poke around
some more.
Thanks much-
Russ Murphy
