Instructions

Library Name	Version Compiled	Download URL	License
GNU Multi-precision Library (GMP)	latest	http://swox.com/gmp/#DOWNLOAD	LGPL
GNU Linear Programming Kit (GLPK)	4.8	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/	GPL
Parma Polyhedra Library (PPL)	0.9	ftp://ftp.cs.unipr.it/pub/ppl/releases/	GPL

To install please follow the steps as outlined below:

• Download and install the libraries mentioned above. If installing locally, edit the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the install directories.
• Go to $(LPINV_PATH)/src/ and edit Makefile.globals to fill in the correct path information. If you have installed the library globally in a place where gcc sees them automatically, (eg., /usr/lib or /usr/include ) just replace all the paths with blanks.

  ##

  ## The location of your include files

  ##

  PPL_INCLUDE = /directory/of/ppl.hh

  GLPK_INCLUDE = /directory/of/glpk.h

  GMP_INCLUDE = /directory/of/gmp.h

  ##

  ## The location of your librarires

  ##

  GMP_LIB = /path/to/libgmp

  PPL_LIB = /path/to/libppl

  GLPK_LIB = /path/to/libglpk

• You can now compile by typing "make".
• If your compilation went OK, you should obtain three executables.
  
  • lpinv: Drives all examples under $(LPINV_PATH)/examples/Standard/
  • lpinv-delz: Drives all examples under $(LPINV_PATH)/examples/Delz/.
