[GAP Forum] Browse package

[Rudolf Zlabinger]

Even there where a precompiled version, I think you had a means of c runtime 
libraries to have included in your Windows/XP platform to run the package. I 
don't know (but may be), whether the installer of Alexander Konovalov 
includes a WINDOWS runnable version of BROWSE, or will include it in near 
future.

For this reason, among others,  I use a separate SUSE/LINUX in parallel to 
WINDOWS/XP for such c based packages as for example GRAPE. There you can use 
Frank Luebecks rsync (see download site) without need to recompile (for most 
packages). I hope, rsync includes BROWSE already, or does it soon. 
Otherwise, under LINUX, after installing the c compiler, there is no problem 
to compile.

I hope you get better feedback from other people.

mit freundlichen Grüßen/best regards, Rudolf Zlabinger
