    Trying to run KohGPI but needed to find SPRANNLIB which is not available for what I can see – but found GNU-i-fied version in clibs directory of http://sourceforge.net/projects/rlabplus/files/rlab/

    This implementation also depends on the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) which you’ll need to build and install beforehand.

    Then to build SPRANNLIB  download and untar the rlab archive. Go to ‘clibs/sprannlib/src’ and type make. If things are in order it will make a library in ../lib called libsprann.a spr_$ARCH.a where $ARCH is your architecture (x86_64, etc).

    The .a files can be deployed in your normal place for manual (non-RPM/DEB) installations (/usr/local/pkg/sprannlib for me with symlinks to the libraries in /usr/local/lib). Then go back and build kohgpi but you may need to update the Makefile so that the library paths point to your sprannlib installation location.

      Thanks for the tip Jason!

      Did you compare against big-PI? I am about to do that now.

        I haven’t compared them yet, not – Tom did this for the Coccidioides project and they don’t overlap that much.
        As it turns out this whole post is a little unnecessary as the compiled version that comes with the download for KohGPI works on most linux installs anyways, but it was good to at least figure out how to go from scratch if need be.

          Yeah, I was just doing the comparison, and there is not much overlap. Ah well.

      I found SPRANNLIB file, but I had many problems trying to compile it.

      Hi. I’m looking for Sprannlib but can’t find it. Has any of you a tarball ?

        Did you go to the source forge page I referred to? That is where you can get the library and hence this post…

        • Fabien 11:15 pm on June 21, 2011 Permalink

          Yes, I did. But R Lab Plus doesn’t include SprannLib anymore. Nonetheless, after a second look, I found out that a compiled version of kohgpi is included in the source tarball. And fortunately, it is compiled for the same architecture that I am using. Thanks, for your up.

      Hi. Do you know if there is anyway to have big-PI source code ?

      Contact the author of rlabplus for the original sources of the library. I bet he has saved them for reference.

    MonkeyTeX: Online LaTeX Editor 

    In case you and your collaborators are geeky enough to use LaTeX but not geeky enough to use something like SVN or CVS you can collaborate with MonkeyTeX.

      I’m sure you’re aware of it, but I’m spreading the word to as many people as possible – LyX is awesome.

      I wrote my thesis in it — it does most things that LaTeX does, has decent bibtex interaction (pull down citeulike as bibtex, clean up with bibtool + custom perl, load into LyX), has change tracking + reviewing, built-in versioning, document inclusion (child documents), easy tables + images + math, export to OpenOffice/rtf/txt/html (via texmf) plus all the WYSIWYM goodness.

      LyX is really good. Anyway, if you do not want to install any software to use LaTeX you could try an online LaTeX editor like http://latexlab.org or http://www.verbosus.com which support HTTPS, syntax highlighting, code completion, etc.

    Note taking Apps on OSX 

    When you are not blogging maybe you are taking notes on your own computer. Do you have particular software that works best?

    I have been enjoying Flying Meat‘s Voodoo Pad. There is also Journier. The Apple Blog folks have a nice head-to-head comparison of many of the must-have note taking software, have a look.
