minpack for Debian ------------------ These libraries are compiled from unchanged FORTRAN files downloaded from netlib. Since these are from FORTRAN files: - Use gfortran to compile programs to be linked against the library, even if only C files are being compiled. (Otherwise the linker will not be able to find the needed functions from the FORTRAN library). - When calling from C, all parameters must be pointers. - Two dimensional arrays are stored by column rather than by row. For an explanation of how the programs work, see /usr/share/doc/minpack-dev/minpack-documentation.txt -- Jim Van Zandt , Fri, 22 Feb 2002 20:29:59 -0500
