TuxMath is still being developed, and new source and binaries (win32, MacOSX) are posted. I have removed the obsolete builds from public access. The old rpm and slackware packages are still there, as I do not have current ones made, but I would strongly encourage that potential users grab the tuxmath-source package instead - it is very easy to build and install - just untar, ./configure, make, make install
Example (assuming you are in directory where you have downloaded the file):
tar -xfz tuxmath-1.5.1.tar.gz
cd tuxmath-1.5.1
./configure
make
make install (might need su or sudo)
You will need the header (i.e. -dev) files for libSDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, and SDL-_ttf to build tuxmath, and the libs themselves to run the program - your distro almost certainly will have these easily available, or get them from www.libSDL.org.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hmm -
I tested the tuxmath-1.5.1-tar.gz build on my Debian Sid system this AM - it builds and installs, although "make install" generates some errors related to msgfmt (we have added the beginnings of i18n support, but it isn't really completed). Nonetheless, the program got installed and appears to work correctly. Is this the file you used?
It shouldn't matter, but I unpacked the *tar.gz under my home directory - looking at your paths, it looks like maybe you put it under /usr/local/source - if you can install it correctly from ~/tuxmath-1.5.1, it means there is a bug we need to root out. I am at work now so I can't test it at the moment.

That is certainly true - the project uses SubVersion at svn.debian.org -
The CVS link is one of many things that needs to be updated.
If you want to build from the latest source, checkout from the svn repository. The project uses both autoconf and automake - it is recommended that you have autotools and generate configure and friends on your own machine (so the build/install process becomes "./autogen.sh; ./configure; make; sudo make install").
Hope this helps - keep posting if you still have trouble.

The first command should be
tar -xzf tuxmath-1.5.1.tar.gz

I tried unpacking the source package, and doing
./configure
and
make
and
sudo make install
When I tried to run the program it complained about missing files:
/usr/local/source/tuxmath/images/icon.png
/usr/local/source/tuxmath/images/tux/console.png
/usr/local/source/tuxmath/images/tux/console_led.png
After checking tuxmath out from CVS, I found icon.png and console.png, but not console_led.png.
Perhaps the latest stuff isn't checked in properly to CVS?

Hi - there really was a problem with the previous tarballs - I think it should be fixed in 1.5.3.
Please give it a try.
(this issue should not have affected the Windows build nor anyone building from a svn checkout).
