System: NetBSD kingu 1.5.2 NetBSD 1.5.2 (GENERIC) #3: Sat Aug 18 23:37:05 CEST 2001     he@hamster.urc.uninett.no:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

>Description:
GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) is a set of routines written in
ANSI C and organized in the form of a library. This package is
intended for solving large-scale linear programming (LP), mixed
integer linear programming (MIP), and other related problems.

>How-To-Repeat:
Go into pkgsrc/math and note the lack of glpk

>Fix:
(please forgive my lack of experience here):
I believe the easiest way to install math/glpk is to use url2pkg:

$ url2pkg ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-3.0.7

and use the following Makefile, or a better version of it:

Makefile:
# $NetBSD$
#

DISTNAME=       glpk-3.0.7
CATEGORIES=     math
MASTER_SITES=   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/

USE_LIBTOOL=    YES
