Newest version on Linux?

[chakravala]

You mentioned that Mac/Windows users have trouble building the latest version, if this is not an issue for Linux, can Linux users get the latest version?

Well, the Fortran code compiles on Linux and so it should be possible to call the latest version of the Fortran code on Linux. I recall trying without problems.

However, the signature of the called Fortran function has changed slightly over the years, so unfortunately it's not possible to simply swap one version of the Fortran build with another. I'm in the middle of an update of some other internals of Deldir, but let me look into this afterwards.

Are you missing anything in particular?

I'm just curious, that's all

Looking further into this issue I find one problem in the later versions of the Fortran code: It needs to link against libraries shipped with R because it calls certain functions when encountering errors that give proper error messages inside R.

So if a point set is nice and the Fortran code runs without errors it seems to work. But if the Fortran tries to signal an error I get segfaults in Julia.

I don't have a solution for this currently, but I'll keep the issue open.
