I have built a Debian package for the Yorick interpreted language as well as several add-ons, packaged as:
The binary packages are compiled under sarge (i386), and usually work under etch and sid as well.
DISCLAIMER: these package are experimental. It's not quite impossible that
they damage your system. Also, the packages available from here may fail to
upgrade properly and are often modified without bumping the version. Therefore
I recommend not trying to upgrade: install the packages once, and when you
want the latest version, uninstall, purge, and reinstall:
apt-get --purge remove yorick yorick-z yorick-gl yorick-curses yorick-hdf5
yorick-imutil yorick-soy yorick-yeti yorick-yeti-fftw yorick-yeti-regex
yorick-yeti-tiff yorick-yutils
You can get the packages by adding the following to your
/etc/apt/sources.list (don't do that permanently, comment these lines out once
you're done with installing, see above disclaimer):
# unofficial yorick 2.1 packages
deb http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~paumard/debian sarge main
deb-src http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~paumard/debian sarge main
and then issuing:
apt-get update
apt-get install yorick yorick-z yorick-gl yorick-curses yorick-hdf5
yorick-imutil yorick-soy yorick-yeti yorick-yeti-fftw yorick-yeti-regex
yorick-yeti-tiff yorick-yutils
