Genius is a general purpose calculator with many advanced capabilities. To find out more go to: http://www.jirka.org/genius.html
It turns out that term.h is an evil evil evil include. It may (on some systems) do preprocessor defines for things like "buttons" which totally hoses everything. Thanks to Stephan Hegel for finding the root of this. In any case, Genius is one of the oldest GNOME projects, it has been the original GNOME calculator before I got wild ideas about it doing absolutely everything. It is programmable, has a powerful language and handles many fun features including support for matrices, rational numbers, and nice 2D and 3D plotting. The GUI version requires GNOME2 (at least glib2 if you don't want a GUI) a recent enough GMP library and the MPFR library. You can still use the command line version if you prefer non-gui interface. Here are the news in 1.0.11: * Build fix for some versions of ncurses (Stephan Hegel) * Minor documentation updates * For some of the changes the author (Jiri) was partially supported by NSF grant DMS 0900885 and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign http://download.gnome.org/sources/genius/1.0/ ftp://ftp.5z.com/pub/genius/ http://www.jirka.org/genius.html Genius is in Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, GARNOME and probably other distribution repositories, so check those. Usually you wan to install two packages: genius and gnome-genius (perhaps also gnome-common on some distros). Of course it will be a little bit before this version hits those servers ...
