Linux Operating Environment

Linux Operating Environment-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. For more information, see the following section. Recently, I started to work stably in Linux. Good, good. Since I gave up STATA, MATLAB, and SAS, Windows is basically not worth it. What else do I have to use Windows? Let me think about it. By the way, the clients of stock and futures quotations and trading systems in the HK stock market must run on Windows, and maplestory (also known as maplestory) has finally started its Public Beta in HK, of course, it is also on the Windows platform. Maybe this 2D horizontal axis game can be played on a virtual machine in Linux, but I have been so old that I am too young and frivolous to bother with it. In short, when money and games are involved, they are returned to Windows, learning and working, or using Linux. We can see that money and games are at a level.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (SDK) + GAUSS (Linux version) + R + teTeX constitute my main working environment, which is quite satisfactory so far. Novell's attitude is cautious and conservative. Almost all components in SLED are not in the latest version. Both gcc and other components use stable versions that have been tested for a long time, I have never liked to catch up with the trend and be the first in security. OpenSUSE is quite trendy, but I am not interested in trying it out. Novell's download and online upgrades are soaring. I don't believe openSUSE will be so important. GAUSS is a commercial software. It can be installed simply by running the installation script, and the technical support is also good. The possible problem is that the error "error while loading shared libraries: libqt" is reported during drawing. so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

The solution is simple. Just change the path: LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/gauss; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I personally prefer to use the GAUSS configuration file. in cfg, the EDITOR is changed to EDITOR = emacs-nw, which is purely a preference for emacs and does not want to fall into a long-drawn debate on the strong and weak of vi and emacs. The advantage of such modification is that the program can be debugged directly through emacs in GAUSS, which reflects the UNIX philosophy: To solve as many problems as possible in a simple way, it is certainly a good choice to solve one hundred problems in one hundred ways, but it is a master to solve one hundred problems in only one way. At least it doesn't need to be like in Windows now, every time you come into contact with different software or even different versions of the same software, you have to spend time learning your own IDE. Even if you are not satisfied with the IDE, you cannot change it.

There was a small problem when installing R. SLED10 does not provide the fortran compiler, but gcc-fortran is included in the SDK. Other installation and use should not have any problems. R inherits the concise and efficient UNIX philosophy and the great GNU tradition. It is very good. It is not like STATA. As for LaTeX, we don't have to say much. No language can express it to Donald E. thanks to Knuth, the name of this person will surely be remembered for many years as the name of von norann. I can hardly remember the last time I used office word. The problem with teTeX is that maintenance has been stopped and will be gradually replaced by TeXLive. However, since SLED10 uses the former, let's just use it, I believe that in the near future, SLED will include TeXLive instead of teTeX.
