[flint-devel] host-57-44 back up

[Bill H. <goo...@go...>]

I've now reinstalled host-57-44 with KUbuntu. The only problem I had
so far is the KDE package manager crashes fairly often. But it's just
as easy to use apt-get anyway.

I've reinstalled mpir, mpfr, par/gp and am in the process of
reinstalling gcc-4.3.1 and magma.

It's definitely 64 bits now.

If I gave you a password a few days ago, it should be the same one
now. If not, I am about to email one to you.

Peter Shrimpton noted that to use gcc-4.3.1 you additionally need to
put mpfr in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It is currently installed in
/usr/lib, i.e. you need to do

export PATH=/usr/local/gcc-4.3.1/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mpir-0.9.0/:/usr/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

in order to use the new gcc.

Bill.
