Slackware

Follow the general directions, 2.3.2, above when opening the TAR archive. These instructions are based on version 14.2 of Slackware. If you don't have BLAS, LAPACK, and PLPLOT installed yet, these dependencies should be built first. PLPLOT uses cmake, and you may need to make sure that your version is compatible with the PLPLOT version. Build the dependencies as follows in /usr/local/src.

• plplot-5.11.1 First build plplot shared libraries. To do this, untar and cd into plplot-5.11.1

  mkdir build_dir
  cd build_dir 
  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ../ >& cmake.out
  make >&make.out
  make install >&install.out
  

• BLAS Build BLAS static library, untar BLAS-3.8.0 and cd into BLAS-3.8.0

  make Makefile
  cp blas_LINUX.a  /usr/local/lib/libblas.a
  

• LAPACK Build LAPACK and more BLAS libraries, untar lapack-3.8.0, cd into lapack-3.8.0

  ln -s make.inc.example make.inc
  make all
  
  [Note: it may bomb on testing, Makefile has specific targets]
  When done with any extra make targets, should have
  liblapack.a
  libtmglib.a
  librefblas.a
  libcblas.a
  Can install with copy command:
  
  cp lib*.a /usr/local/lib
  

• BSU-3.0.2 Untar bsu-3.0.2 in /usr/local/src, then build in either a gnuplot or plplot directory. ONLY install one or the other, gnuplot or plplot. Best graphics with plplot.
  • bsu+gnuplot

    mkdir /usr/local/src/bsu+gnuplot
    cd bsu+gnuplot	
    ../bsu-3.0.2/configure  >&configure.out
    make
    make install
    sudo ldconfig
    

  • bsu+plplot

    mkdir /usr/local/src/bsu+plplot
    cd bsu+plplot
    ../bsu-3.0.2/configure --with-plplotlib  >&configure.out
    make >&make.out
    make install >&install.out
    sudo ldconfig
