Preparation: Resolving Dependencies without fink

Note: You need the following steps only if you do not want to use fink. In this case you have to compile some Linux packages first.

• You need to install the following Linux packages (Follow the installation instructions given with each of the packages.) You might have some of them already if you installed your own compiler.
  • readline (version 6 or later)
  • Term-Readline-Gnu
  • gmp (version 5 or later). gmp needs to be configured with the –enable-cxx=yes option.
  • mpfr (version 3 or later)
  • boost (we only need the headers, so it suffices to unpack the archive, you can even delete most of the stuff, just keep include)
  • (for Mac OS 10.9 and 10.10) ant
  • ppl (version 1.1 or later)
  • ant (version 1.9.4 or later (caution: older version really don't work))
