Today we needed to install Math::Pari on an Opteron (x86_64) based Debian box at the office. I’m documenting here the trials and tribulations we had to go through to get it to work:
Downloaded latest Math::Pari tarball from CPAN
Downloaded pari version 2.1.7 tarball
Untar Math::Pari
cd into Math::Pari and run “perl Makefile.PL pari_tgz=/path/to/pari-2.1.7.tgz”
Ignore all the stupid messages

I work for magazines.com and we are looking to add to our team!
We’re a Perl shop, located in Franklin, Tennessee. We sell magazine subscriptions online. This year we’ve got a lot to do and I’m looking to add some developers to our ranks. I’m not sure how many yet, but I can [...]
We are hiring at the office. It’s in Franklin, non-telecommute and LAMP.
The linked description basically sums it all up, but I’ll divulge a little more. We are looking for a mid-to-junior person: anywhere in that range. While being a Perl junkie would be cool, we are open to all types of experience. [...]
On the eve of The Steve’s keynote at MacWorld, Apple is getting a lot of buzz around the Intertron. Today at the office I was discussing an application with Nathan and I advised him to simply copy Foo.app to his other machine. I commented that such action should work flawlessly, as that is [...]
Given a string, such as “balance my checkbook”, the app would concatenate the words, capitalize their first letters, and prepend a K. The aforementioned string would become “KBalanceMyCheckbook”. I would call it the “KDE Application Name Generator”.
After railing on Linux the other day, I decided I needed to find out what Linux was up to these days. I’ve never run Fedora, choosing instead to use Debian or Gentoo. It’s actually very nice.
So, this post is coming from Fedora Core 4. I’ll be hanging out here for awhile and [...]
Every few weeks I see an article where someone decides they can be the one to succeed where others have failed and show us all why Linux has yet to ‘conquer’ the desktop. I’ve got three words for you: No One Cares.
If you search the internet for my nick (gphat), you’ll likely find me [...]
The triad is complete:
Sveasoft firmwared WRT54G
540GB of spinning disks (230 usable RAID-1 and a 40G boot) cradled inside an
With 253 Gigabytes of storage, my new machine is alive. I have named it thermopoly.
218GB is software RAID 1 and mounted at /home. There is something reassuring about having all your documents, code, and various bits on mirrored drives.
UPDATE: DVD Ripping sucks. I’ve been waiting forever for AVP to turn into [...]
It’s been quite awhile since I intentionally ran a distro that was not composed of the Latest and Greatest packages. The version of GTK+ is woefully behind. I have no idea where to get proper RPMs…
