Why don't you make the next logical step and include sources of glibc? |
7 |
Shouls every package include sources of each library it uses? How many |
8 |
copies of each library, of different versions, in different directories, |

I'll have? Some other packages use arpack and umfpack, why FreeMat should |
10 |
have its own versions of them? |

This goes against modularity, *the* fundamental principle of any good |
13 |
Linux distribution. |

|
15 |
Also, the default build of FreeMat-2.0 is absolutely incompatible with the |
16 |
FHS standard. |

The specific question about building FreeMat-2.0 with matio-1.3.0 is, |
19 |
probably, not too difficult. I'll have a look today in the evening, and |
20 |
(if I'll succeed) I'll put the necessary changes to gentooscience.org. |
