I know of no actual command line calculator. However, 'bc' (basic
calculator) is close. In X-windows, it could be run in a separate window
and used as needed. It will accept somewhat "C-like" arithmetic
statements interactively and produce arbitrary precision answers. See the
man pages for 'bc'.
Good Luck,
