I've just installed a few virtual Linux machines (32-bit Debian, 64-bit Debian
and 64-bit Mint). In each case prereq exits due to missing g++, gfortran or in
the case of mint, 'm4' too. So all these packages needed to be installed. I
think on Debian, gcc did too.
Would it be sensible to suggest how to install these? For the distributions I
tried
apt-get install gfortran
or similar works.
But I've no idea what distributions that would work on, and what it would not. I
can't be bothered to go trying to find the distribution of linux, but I don't
mind putting a note like
"On Debian, Mint ... use "apt-get install gfortran"
"On Slackware, foobar linux use ...."
or something like that.
1) Does this seem sensible, or is it too much hand-holding?
2) What would be the commands for the common linux distributions - not all 600
or so of them!
