Other Packages

Distributions comes with often (slightly) different versions of the shared libraries, which sometimes complicates running existing binary packages. But here are some of my favorite packages you may not find in your distribution:

ddd, a fabulous GUI frontend for the dbx/gdb debugger families. (although gvd is also very good, and has better source code browsing)
ccmalloc: a great way to find memory leaks (although i more often now use valgrind)

and various packages of which we keep a local copy on /n/apus/linux/astromake/ :

sm: can only be used within the astronomy department, as we have a site licence. Don't ask me for it, just grab it. A sample install using astromake would be:
```
	scp apus:/n/apus/linux/astromake/sm.tar.gz .
	astromake install sm
```
mtv: mpeg movie player
pjt-1-1.noarch.rpm: my personal favorites (micro-emacs, save, ....)

Here are some compilations of some of my own (often linux related) software tools:
