Installation
First you need to download the packages PRNG and UNURAN which can be found
at http://statistik.wu-wien.ac.at/prng/
as well as at
http://statistik.wu-wien.ac.at/unuran/.
Let us assume the packages are called
- prng-3.0.2.tar.gz
- unuran-0.5.0.tar.gz
Save these files in a directory of your choice and type
- tar xfz prng-3.02.tar.gz
- tar xfz unuran-0.5.0.tar.gz
to unpack both packages. Change into the prng directory and do
the usual
- ./configure
- make
- make install
which installs the prng library on your system.Then go to the
unuran directory, In this case it is called unuran-0.5.0 and edit
the file `./src/unuran_config.h': Find the lines that read
/* Set type of uniform random number generator.*/
#define UNUR_URNG_TYPE UNUR_URNG_FVOID
/* #define UNUR_URNG_TYPE UNUR_URNG_PRNG */
/* #define UNUR_URNG_TYPE UNUR_URNG_RNGSTREAM */
/* #define UNUR_URNG_TYPE UNUR_URNG_GSL */
/* #define UNUR_URNG_TYPE UNUR_URNG_GENERIC */
Change this to
/* Set type of uniform random number generator.*/
/*#define UNUR_URNG_TYPE UNUR_URNG_FVOID */
#define UNUR_URNG_TYPE UNUR_URNG_PRNG
/* #define UNUR_URNG_TYPE UNUR_URNG_RNGSTREAM */
/* #define UNUR_URNG_TYPE UNUR_URNG_GSL */
/* #define UNUR_URNG_TYPE UNUR_URNG_GENERIC */
i.e. uncomment the second line and comment the first line.This makes sure
that we use the prng library for the generation of uniformly distribution
random numbers. It is important to first install the PRNG library before
installing UNURAN! For further details see the installation instruction
of both PRNG and
UNURAN. Now go back
to the unuran-0.5.0 main directory by typing
and do
- ./configure
- make
- make install
Installing KStochastic is then very easy. Go back
to the kstochastic directory and once again do
- ./configure
- make
- make install
This should install an icon in the Utilities Menu of KDE, which starts the program -- or
simply type `kstochastic' on your console.
