Labels and equations can be typeset with LaTeX. &lfs77_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &asymptote-md5sum; Download size: &asymptote-size; Estimated disk space required: &asymptote-buildsize; Estimated build time: &asymptote-time; Additional Downloads Required patch: Asymptote Dependencies Required , Recommended (for 3D drawing) Optional FFTW, Optional (at runtime, to use xasy) Imaging which needs Imaging-1.1.7-freetype_fix-1.patch and has a build dependency of (re-) compiled against to provide _tkinter.so User Notes: Install asymptote by running the following commands: export TEXARCH=$(uname -m | sed -e 's/i.86/i386/' -e 's/$/-linux/') && patch -Np1 -i ../asymptote-&asymptote-version;-ghostscript_fix-1.patch && ./configure --prefix=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year; \ --bindir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/bin/$TEXARCH \ --datarootdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year; \ --libdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist \ --mandir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/doc/man && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --libdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist;: This parameter ensures that the asymptote directory will similarly overwrite any files installed by install-tl-unx.
