  • These packages were compiled under SuSE 10.2. They should fit the recent versions of other Linux distributions too.
  • Packages are compiled for various CPU models. The i586 variant is a generic Pentium architecture used in SuSE by default, i686 is optimized for Pentium 4, and athlon for AMD Athlon XP. The x86-64 package is compiled for the 64-bit AMD64/Opteron and Intel Core2 CPU families.
    Be sure to pick the package fitting your hardware.
Source RPM package for Linux
polymake-2.3-2.src.rpm 2291792 15:57 May 14 2008
Take the source package if you can't install the binary package offered above due to unsatisfied dependences on glibc or similar ugly reason, or if you have a computer architecture different from the listed above and want to optimize the binaries for your specific CPU.
Provided that all required development tools are installed, the binary package suitable for your system can be built with a single command: rpmbuild --rebuild polymake-VERSION.src.rpm
Packages for MacOS X (Fink)
Binary packages compiled on MacOS 10.4, PowerPC architecture:
polymake-pm586_2.3-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
165346 18:46 Jan 24 2007
polymake_2.3-1_darwin-powerpc.deb 15082042 18:46 Jan 24 2007
polymake is now part of the public Fink package collection (but still in unstable tree). You should be able to install it via the Fink Commander or fink command line interface, like any other Fink package.
As long as polymake stays in the unstable tree, there are no binary packages available on the Fink mirrors, thus you will get to compile polymake on your machine. This can take several hours, especially on older PowerPCs. Please let us know about your success, this will increase the chances for polymake to be promoted to the stable tree.
The impatient can just download these packages from the lines above and install them with dpkg -i (with root privileges or via sudo).
Packages for FreeBSD
Binary package compiled for FreeBSD 6.2:
polymake-2.3_1.i386.tbz
16015081 14:59 Jan 30 2007
polymake-2.3_1.x86_64.tbz 10351382 18:06 Jan 29 2007
The polymake port is now included in the official FreeBSD port collection, in the math category. The preferred way to install polymake on your machine is therefore
portinstall -r -P polymake
Remember to use portupgrade instead if you have already installed an earlier version of polymake.
The archives exposed here are devoted for the most impatient, who do not want to wait until the current release shows up on the FreeBSD mirror servers.
