Hi all,
See http://glucat.sf.net and http://sourceforge.net/projects/glucat/

GluCat is now compatible with gcc 3.2 and Intel C++ 7.0.
This should ensure that the code is closer to standard C++.
This version of GluCat was built using KDevelop 2.1.3 and Boost CVS 
(2002-12-28).
GluCat now uses Boost uBLAS rather than MTL, for a number of reasons:
1 MTL needed extensive patching to work with Intel C++.
2 MTL maintenance seems to have halted.
3 Joerg Walter contributed a uBLAS interface for GluCat.
4 uBLAS uses expression templates and uBLAS matrices have value semantics.
  This makes the relevant GluCat library code easier to read and understand.
5 GluCat with uBLAS compiles faster than with MTL.
6 uBLAS is also generally faster than MTL. This makes GluCat generally faster.
Other improvements to GluCat include better use of IEEE NaN.

 GluCat uses the C++ Standard Library and the Boost Library. Make sure
 you have these installed and working before attempting to use GluCat.
 Use the instructions at http://www.boost.org/more/download.html
 to obtain the Boost Library. As at 2002-12-28, you need to use Boost CVS,
 as Boost 1.29.0 does not contain a new enough uBLAS.
Best regards
