The locfit binary distribution includes binaries for R, S-Plus, Matlab
and stand-alone. Unpack, login as root (preferably), and
cd locfit-2.01-linux
./installer
Locfit libraries are installed to
/usr/local/lib. You'll then
be prompted for the front-ends to install.
Notes:
- The R version was compiled for R-2.4.0. If you're using an earlier
version, I recommend upgrading; otherwise, you'll have to install from source.
- My script for determining MATLABROOT isn't very robust, so check the
default that the script determines carefully.
- Also, the matlab mex files require libstdc++.so.6 which is included in
FC4, FC5 linux (kernel 2.6.*), but not on an older system with 2.4.* kernel.
In the latter case, you would again need to install from source.
