Re^3: Prime Numbers

If you are using AS Perl, Randy Kobes has built Math::Pari (v 2.010500) and provides it through PPM.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

Nope. I'm running Mac OSX, SuSE, Mandrake and Debian. I wish it were that easy. -- I used to drive a Heisenbergmobile, but every time I looked at the speedometer, I got lost.	[reply]

I'm running Mac OSX, SuSE, Mandrake and Debian I have Math-Pari-2.010703 on Mandrake-9.1, perl 5.8.8, built against pari-2.1.7. The pari-2.1.7 source folder and the Math-Pari-2.010703 source folder are siblings (next to each other). Building is as difficult as cd'ing to the top level Math-Pari source folder and running 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make test' and 'sudo make install'. It even detected the ix86 processor and built using appropriate assembler instructions for that processor. Perhaps there are problems with other processors (though a generic C build should still be possible) - and I don't know how it would go on a true 64-bit architecture. And, of course, I guess there are other variables that could make a difference, too. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
