Instructions on intalling flint 2 --------------------------------- FLINT 2 follows a standard format for installation: ./configure make make check make install However, this assumes that MPIR and MPFR are already installed on your system in /usr/local. If the libraries are not in this location you must specify where they are by passing their location to configure. It also assumes you wish to install FLINT 2 at the prefix /usr/local. If not you must pass the prefix (the directory containing lib and include subdirectories into which FLINT will be installed) to configure: ./configure --with-mpir=/home/user1/mpir-2.1.1/ --with-mpfr=/usr --prefix=/usr Note that the FLINT configure system can handle MPIR/MPFR as installed (in lib and include dirs) at some location, or as source builds (built from source and not installed). For further configure and make options, please refer to the FLINT 2 documentation.
