No: Quoting http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/polymake/download_choice.html Binary packages for RedHat, SuSE, and other Linux distributions with RPM-based software management End user package polymake-2.1.0-2.athlon.rpm 10046242 20:32 Jan 21 2005 polymake-2.1.0-2.i586.rpm 8716518 19:53 Jan 21 2005 polymake-2.1.0-2.i686.rpm 9995110 21:11 Jan 21 2005 Developer package polymake-devel-2.1.0-2.athlon.rpm 878609 20:32 Jan 21 2005 polymake-devel-2.1.0-2.i586.rpm 934404 19:53 Jan 21 2005 polymake-devel-2.1.0-2.i686.rpm 877174 21:11 Jan 21 2005 These packages were compiled under SuSE 9.0. They should fit the recent versions of other Linux distributions too. In older distributions the RPM installation might fail complaining about unresolved dependences on GLIBC or something similar. In this unfortunate case you will have to take the source RPM and recompile it: rpm --rebuild polymake-*.src.rpm or rpmbuild --rebuild polymake-*.src.rpm . Packages are compiled for various CPU models. The i586 variant is a generic Pentium architecture used in SuSE by default, i586 is optimized for Pentium 4, and athlon for AMD Athlon XP. Be sure to pick the package most suitable to your hardware. _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
