Installation instructions
Unpack the archive in your $GAPHOME/pkg directory, and then type
cd linboxing-0.5.1 ./configure make |
to build the kernel module. The package will not work without the kernel
module. For further build options, see the help for configure,
or chapter 2 of the package
manual.
Running GAP with the linboxing package
Once the kernel module is successfully built, you can use the
package from within GAP by typing LoadPackage("linboxing").
To avoid memory conflicts between GAP and LinBox, you will most likely need
to run GAP with either the -a or -m command-line
switch. See the README or
chapter 2 of the package
manual for more details.
