I've been trying to get XCAS (or some good computer algebra system) to install on my new SL-5500 (running OZ 3.5.3 + GPE), but am not having success, probably because I'm nt very familiar with Linux. Thus my question:
Can anyone give me step-by-step instructions on downloading and installing XCAS on my SL-5500 (I don't have a network card, but I do have a card reader, an SD card, a CF card, and a Windows XP system)?
Or, conversely, I've been talking to Lardman because I saw that he uses XCAS (and has an .ipk for it), but he sent this reply:

I have a feeling that this stuff is built using ARM5 (as my toolchain is setup for my C750), and you need ARM4 so:
1. it may not install as ipkg won't recognise the arch and,
2. you may get unknown instruction errors when you run it.
Hmm, if you can find someone with a GPE 5500 setup with OE/BB I'll give you/them the patches for giac to get it to build.

Can anyone help out with this?
