Source distributions
- yorick-1.6.02.tgz latest stable yorick source distribution
- yorick-1.6-02.src.rpm rpm source for Redhat Linux
- yorick-doc.tgz complete HTML, PDF, and TeXinfo documentation. This tarball includes all the yorick documentation at this website, prebuilt from the source and scripts in the tarball itself. Warning: this doc distribution is out of date (lasy update 1.5.07), but it can still be a good local reference for many yorick functions.
After you unpack the source distribution, detailed build instructions for UNIX/Linux/MacOSX are contained in the file yorick-1.6/README. For MS Windows, look in the yorick-1.6/win directory.
Yorick configures itself and compiles on essentially every modern flavor of UNIX, including Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X, IBM AIX, Sun Solaris, Compaq OSF, SGI Irix, and HPUX. The only requirements are an ANSI C compiler (such as gcc) and the X Window System (such as XFree86). Additionally, as of 1.5.07, yorick compiles under MSVC++ on MS Windows machines.
For MacOS X, install X11 and use the UNIX version of yorick, or install yorick through fink (maintained by Sebastien Maret).
