Download the package and unzip it. Start Maple 6 and enter:
libname:="c:/rubik/lib",libname: or libname:="/export/rubik/lib",libname:
(depending on the rubik installation path) For more convinience, you
can add this to your maple initialization file maple.ini, init, .mapleini
or MapleInit depending on your operating system. For more information see
the coresponding web pages for the installation of the rubik package for
unix / linux or windows.
If you want to change the source code:
The directory rubik/src contains the source code of the rubik package.
If you change the source code, you must compile it. To do this, you can
use installrubik.bat (for windows user) or the Makefile (for linux or unix
user). The file installrubik.bat is a file to compile the rubiks package
on a windows computer. To use this file you must adapt the Maple 6 path
and the path of the source code of the rubiks package (e.g. c:\rubik\src).
If you have a unix or a linux computer, you can use the Makefile to compile
the rubiks package. Here, you must change the Maple 6 path and the path
to the rubik directory, too. Both installrubik.bat and the Makefile activates
the file makerubik.mpl in the directory rubik\src. Here, you must adapt
the pathvariable of your rubik directory, too. The name of the pathvariable,
you must change is "rubikpath". You don't have to change anything else
in this file. Last but not least, there is a file rubikhelp.mpl. This is
a file to install the helppages. The file makerubik.mpl activates this
file. If you use a windows computer, just click twice on the file install.bat,
if you have a linux or a unix computer open a terminal window change to
the rubik directory and type make. Furthermore, there are three directories.
The directory with the name lib contains the rubik lib files, the directory
with the name src contains the source code of the package and the directory
web contains the html pages of the package.
