Hello, I need to use the ExtendGraphics'TriangularInterpolate package to interpolate between irregularly spaced data points. I need help getting the installation correct. I'm using Mathematica 4.0.1.0 under RedHat Linux v7.2 I've downloaded TWJ's shell install script and installed the files into /usr/local/TWJ_Packages. Using mcc I've built the binaries mcc -o delaunay delaunay.tm mcc -o contour contour.tm mcc -o mandelbrot mandelbrot.tm Per the README file I've tried testing the installation. When I try to the commands: AppendTo[$Path, "/usr/local/TWJ_Packages"] Needs["ExtendGraphics`Mandelbrot`"] I'm given the errors: LinkConnect::linkc: (LinkObject['./mandelbrot', 2, 2] is dead; attempt to connect failed. MandelbrotImage::fail: Installation of the MathLink binary mandelbrot failed. The binary must be found for the functions to work.? (http://library.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/1999/Apr/msg00346.html) I've tried recompiling the binaries with .exe extensions mcc -o delaunay.exe delaunay.tm ... I've tried moving the binaries to a directory directly in the path (/usr/local/mathematica/AddOns/Applications) but I still receive the same error. Also from the April 1999 discussion, it appeared that this problem could be circumvented by using the Install command. This also fails for me. link = Install["/usr/local/TWJ_Packages/ExtendGraphics/mandelbrot.exe"] LinkConnect::linkc: LinkObject['/usr/local/TWJ_Packages/ExtendGraphics/mandelbrot.exe', 7, 2] is dead; attempt to connect failed. I really don't know what to try next, and I don't have any good (simple) alternatives to using the TriangularInterpolate function included in this package. Thank you for looking at this for me, Scott
