libSVM

[Bobby]

Hi Josh,

Thanks very much for your reply.

I don't see any clear instructions for libSVM at
http://trac.macports.org/wiki/DarwinPorts, unfortunately. Am I missing
something?

My concern about libsvm is that none of the linux commands are working on it
(man, which, locate, etc). Does that mean that there's a problem?

Also, I'm not sure what you mean about the PATH. Is this a variable that I
need to change? I was just referring to which directories were created by
the installer.

Cheers,
Bobby
