Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libpacklib-lesstif1-gfortran on Ubuntu 18.04.
What is libpacklib-lesstif1-gfortran
libpacklib-lesstif1-gfortran is:
CERNLIB is a suite of data analysis tools and libraries created for use in physics experiments, but also with applications to other fields such as the biological sciences.
The packlib library includes a great deal of CERNLIB core functionality. Best-known are probably the MINUIT function minimization routines, the HBOOK histogramming routines, and KUIP (Kit for a User Interface Package). Other subsystems include CSPACK, a set of client-server routines; FFREAD, a format-free input processing system for FORTRAN; and ZEBRA, a data structure management package.
This package includes the graphical functionality of KUIP, the CERNLIB Kit for a User Interface Package. This library has been split off from packlib so that the packlib packages need not depend upon the X and Lesstif libraries.
This package was formerly named libkuipx11-1. The text-based functionality of KUIP can be found in the libpacklib1-gfortran package.
Note that in order to compile and link programs against this library, you must also install the libpacklib-lesstif1-dev package.
