Re: Scientific apps on N810?
 

I'm unable to access this repository: it doesn't seem to exist any more. Does anybody have the debs for maxima and dependencies handy?

Thanks,
eric

Update: The repository is back. I've installed maxima and am now a very happy camper! True symbolic computation on a computer this size is just awesome.

Re: Scientific apps on N810?
 

When I try to install ( from http://maemo.vivaphp.net/pool/ )

Maxima or wxwidgets or wxMaxima ,
I get the error "Incompatible application package" from the App Manager.

( N810 with OS .43-7 )

A dependancy problem ?
Please, what am I missing ?

( Also, calling this repo, as suggested,
Ananukin
http://maemo.vivaphp.net
/pool/
in the App Manager
showed only one app. but not these. )

Any help appreciated, this app. looks so promising !

Re: Scientific apps on N810?
 

If I remember well apps from that repository needed to be installed in red pill mode...

Edit: I was right, add the repository, then enable red-pill mode in the application manager (be sure to have Extra-devel disabled and return in blue-pill mode as soon as you have installed the desired app) or in the terminal as root type "apt-get install wxmaxima", either one will install wxmaxima and all the dependencies needed ;)

@ JustNick !

Reading about the pills on this forum has scared me a bit of taking such medicine , so . . .
I used your second tip and ,

Thanks, that did it.
( Perhaps I'm lucky to run maemo fram the int. card, considering the total size.)

I (new to Linux) begin tto understand why the app. manager isn't designed to do this, the consequences might overwhelm a NIT-beginner

I guess it's time I read the apt-get manual on the net . .

Thanks again !

Re: Scientific apps on N810?
 

Just being curious about NSP2 .

A google search for NSP2 left me ignorant, except for a reference to Mat(h)lab,
which seems to be a high level math progr. lang. ?.

I would welcome a short comment on what NSP2 is.
TIA.
