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.
