Hello *,
I've just commited a freemat-2.0 ebuild to the Gentoo science overlay.
freemat seems to be a rather powerful matlab (quasi-) clone.
It depends on qt-4 and some packages from the overlay (umfpack, arpack).
It also depends on sci-libs/matio which I commited to the overlay some
time ago. This last package is somewhat problematic: I found no normal
downloading url, downloading requires clicking some buttons at some page
(though it's free all right, LGPL). If you have the USE flag "fortran", a
fortran interface to the library should be built; but this requires either
g95 or gfortran. I have neither, so I build matio with -fortran; if
somebody could check if it builds with gcc-4.1 with g95, I'd be grateful.
It is also interesting if matio and freemat can be built on amd64. Please
test this package, it seems interesting.
Andrey
