CARAT

CARAT is a package for solving certain problems in mathematical crystallography.

It is distributed via

 Lehrstuhl B fuer Mathematik
 RWTH-Aachen

 email: carat@momo.math.rwth-aachen.de

NOTE: CARAT was developed for crystallographic groups in dimensions up to 6. Most algorithms also work in higher dimensions. However, integer overflow is not trapped in general.

Installation

The easiest way to compile CARAT is to go to the CARAT base directory (the one containing this REAMDME), and issue the following

./configure
make

CARAT relies on the GMP library (along with its header files) being installed at a standard location, so that the compiler and linker will find it. Otherwise, you will have to indicate their location with appropriate compiler/linker flags.

In order to clean up from a previous installation, you may want to to a

 make clean

before building CARAT again.
