I've installed GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) on Athena for Sun and Linux.
GLPK is a set of routines packaged up into a library (libglpk.a) and a
solver (glpsol) for solving linear programming (LP), mixed integer linear
programming (MIP), and other related problems. The solver processes
directives in a language called the "GNU MathProg modeling language" that is
a subset of AMPL.
The simplest way to use it is to use the solver to process a file of MathProg
commands:
add glpk
glpsol -m sample.mod -o sample.sol
(sample.sol is the output containing the problem solution).
There is a manual in various formats in the /mit/glpk/doc directory; a
good tutorial article on the Web is at
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-glpk1/
See also /mit/glpk/GLPK_FAQ.txt in the glpk locker.
