I updated the spec on github but I can’t build neither on 3.0 nor on cooker because of some broken dependencies. The following packages should be build:
utf8proc
dSFMT
julia
Here is the error on cooker:
A requested package cannot be installed:
lib64arpack2-3.1.5-1-omv2015.0.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied libgfortran.so.3()(64bit))
Here is the error on 3.0:
A requested package cannot be installed:
lib64gfortran3-5.4.1_2016.06-2-omv2015.0.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied lib64quadmath0[== 5.4.1_2016.06-2:2015.0])
The new gcc update (6.3 => 7.2) made this. The arpack library in contrib possibly has to be rebuild with the new gcc. I don’t know if contrib packages in general are going to be rebuild.
Now the libraries available for gfortran and quadmath are:
There is a link “see who is using Rust” that shows lots of institutions/organizations but none of mathematical/scientific purposes, is it right? If the answer is “Yes”, I guess I should not forget julia which is made (as far as I know) specifically for math programing like FORTRAN.
I’m always interested in new options of applications, software, etc, that could impact my work positively. It was just due to this interest that I followed the link to the Rust programming language. Although I could see some humorous in your post, I just had to go ahead to check …
The following packages can't be installed because they depend on packages that are older than the installed ones:
lib64gfortran3-5.4.1_2016.06-2
lib64arpack2-3.1.5-1
octave-4.2.1-2
Continue installation anyway?
Yes, it is. But all ocave-* packages should be rebuilt also because all they are really out of date. I refreshed most of them few time ago (only three of them actually fails to build).
