How to obtain iMath

iMath is hosted at SourceForge. You can download the current release from sourceforge. A complete overview of all files is available in the files section.

Requirements

To compile and use iMath, the GiNaC, CLN, GMP and EQC libraries are required, as well as the standard C++ development libraries, flex and bison. Information about these libraries can be found at the GiNaC library homepage, CLN library homepage and EQC library homepage. Compilation has been tested with EQC 1.4.1 using g++-4.4. Older versions will most probably not work.

Compilation and installation (Linux)

In order to compile and install iMath on your system, type the following in the base directory of the iMath distribution:

   % ./configure
   % make
   % make install

Since iMath uses autoconf you should have no trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the the author.
