save it in the /tmp directory. Open a terminal and type :
su
then the root password and the Enter key. Now type :
cd /
tar xvfz /tmp/xcas_root.tgz
ldconfig
exit
To run the program, type :
xcas &
If the program is not found, logout and login again and try again. If it still does not work, add :
export PATH = "$PATH:/usr/local/bin/"
in the /etc/profile file or in your own ~/.bashrc file, logout and login and try again. If it still does not work, become root again (su), open the file /etc/ld.so.conf with your prefered editor, add the line
/usr/local/lib
save the file, and run again
ldconfig
