How To Install xmpsolve on Fedora 34

xmpsolve is Qt GUI for mpsolve

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install xmpsolve on Fedora 34.

What is xmpsolve

MPSolve stands for Multiprecision Polynomial SOLVEr. It aims to provide an easy to use universal blackbox for solving polynomials and secular equations. Its features include - Arbitrary precision approximation. - Guaranteed inclusion radii for the results. - Exploiting of polynomial structures as well as coefficients in a particular domain (i.e. integers or rationals). - It can be specialized for specific classes of polynomials. As an example, the roots of the Mandelbrot polynomial of degree 2,097,151 were computed in about 10 days on a dual Xeon server. This package contains a Qt-based graphical interface to mpsolve.
