17
To install this package just extract the package's archive file to the
18
GAP <F>pkg/</F> directory. The &Gauss; package utilizes some &C;-code by
19
Max Neunhoeffer that has to be compiled before you can load Gauss. To
20
compile the code, first run <C>./configure</C>. If the package is not
21
installed in the <F>pkg/</F> subdirectory of &GAP;'s root directory
22
you will need to provide the correct path to the latter. This will
23
create a makefile. Complete the installation of the package by running
24
<C>make</C>. Recompiling the documentation is possible by the command
25
<C>make doc</C> in the Gauss directory, but this should not be
26
necessary.<P/>
27

28
By default the &Gauss; package is not automatically loaded by &GAP;
29
when it is installed. You must load the package with
30
<C>LoadPackage("Gauss");</C> before its functions become
31
available. Please, send me an e-mail if you have any questions,
32
remarks, suggestions, etc. concerning &Gauss;. Also, I would like to
33
hear about applications of this package.<Br/>
