How To Install libcminpack1 on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libcminpack1 on Kali Linux.

What is libcminpack1

libcminpack1 is:

Minpack includes software for solving nonlinear equations and nonlinear least squares problems. Five algorithmic paths each include a core subroutine and an easy-to-use driver. The algorithms proceed either from an analytic specification of the Jacobian matrix or directly from the problem functions. The paths include facilities for systems of equations with a banded Jacobian matrix, for least squares problems with a large amount of data, and for checking the consistency of the Jacobian matrix with the functions.

This is the C re-write of the original fortran minpack implementation.

This package contains the libraries needed to run cminpack applications.
