Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libnlopt Version : 2.2 Upstream Author : Steven G. Johnson <stev...@alum.mit.edu> * URL : http://ab-initio.mit.edu/nlopt/ * License : (LGPL) Programming Lang: (C, C++, Python, Guile, Octave) Description : a multi-language library for nonlinear optimization
NLopt is a free multi-language library for solving nonlinear optimization problems (minimizing some function over many parameters, possibly with nonlinear constraints), callable from C/C++/Fortran/Python/Guile/Octave. Most likely you will need a libnlopt package with the .so, a libnlopt-dev package with the headers, and libnlopt-python/guile/octave packages with the python/guile/octave plugins, respectively. PS. The Python OpenOpt library, which is already packaged for Debian, uses NLopt for several of its solvers in the latest upstream version, so an NLopt package will be needed in Debian to take advantage of this. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
