Murphy" To: FreeBSD-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Gauss Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.106) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org 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) (C) Copyright 1984-1998 Aptech Systems, Inc. Maple Valley, WA All Rights Reserved. 10229752 bytes free (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... neale [rdmurphy]% ---------- 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.
