<br>
<br>
<p>A workstation running some flavor of unix like Solaris, Irix,
<p>Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, CygWindows. Ideally, you should have at
<p>least 500 Mb for data and 32 Mb RAM. The source code package needs
<p>around 100MB uncompressed. The resulting binaries may need between
<p>80MB and 180MB depending on your platform.
<br>
<br>
<p>General requirements:
<p>(most tools are standard tools on Linux, for other platforms you
<p> may have to install some of them.)
<br>
<br>
<p> - C-compiler (cc, gcc, egcs, ...)
<p> gcc: <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html</a>
