RE: [Help-glpk] Location of glpk headers

I think glpk are use by:

Python-glkp and
Erp5 use python-glpk.

Python-glpk
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/cooker/2006.0/i586/media/contrib/python-gl
pk-0.4-2mdk.i586.html

Erp5
http://erp5.org/
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/cooker/cooker/ppc/media/contrib/ERP5-0.8-1m
dk.noarch.html

I wish other distributions e.g. Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc. would
package and include python-glpk, if not Erp5. I don't know about Suse.
(I am Mandrake9.2, pclinuxos and K(ubuntu) user.)  

Thanks.

Subject: [Help-glpk] Location of glpk headers

Hi,
I'm working on packaging GLPK for Fedora Extras. There is a fairly 
strict review process for getting packages accepted, and one of the 
reviewers of my packages pointed out that GLPK currently installs 19 
headers directly into /usr/include. In packages with a large number of 
headers, distribution maintainers nowadays prefer that they be put into 
a subdirectory like /usr/include/glpk. I don't think this would affect 
things too much in GLPK, other than possibly making some changes to the 
*.c files in the examples directory. If I submitted a patch to do this, 
would you consider using it?

The other question is what other applications would be affected by this.

I am the maintainer of Octave in Fedora Extras, which is the primary 
reason for my interest in packaging GLPK (version 3.0 will include LP 
functions that use GLPK), and I know some changes in source code would 
be needed to account for moving the headers. Are there any other 
well-known applications that use GLPK?

regards,
Quentin Spencer
