My question was:
hi DU managers
my system looks like:
OSF1 isz07.isz.ch V3.2 17 alpha
i am looking for a full compiled version of the
gnu c (c++) compiler.
is gnu avaidable for DU?
AND i am looking for a full compiled version of Latex with
all the ps stuff.
----------------------------------------------------------
only a few minutes later, the first answers arrived !!!!!!!!

Do you have the 'Alhpa-Freeware' CD, which DEC ships with every system?
There should be a 'selection of GNU-programs'.
I'm quite sure, that most of the gnu-products will work on Dunix (we installed
gnu-tar, but I don't know where it has been downloaded from...)

Hi Andy,
I suggest that you go to a GNU site and look in the LATEX.readme file.
It explains what you have to do to install latex (precompiled). It
mentions some site where you can get the binaries.
About gnu c++ (g++), I forward you to the same gnu-site. I must admit
that the g++ is only available in source code and not as a binary.
Installing gcc and g++ is pretty forward, as most of the other GNU-programs.
To install such a thing you :
# ./configure
Let the beast work for you
# make all
Let the beast work for you
# make install
Let the beast work for you
And the package is installed. Easy isn't it?
You only need a decent c-compiler to install it. (dec's cc is fine, so is
gcc)
Since g++2.7.0 is not stable on dec-alpha, you should download g++2.7.2,
which installs without anyproblems, or the older g++2.6.3 which is also
very neat. I prefer to install g++2.7.2 because C++ has undergo several
syntax-modifications, which are not implemented in g++2.6.3.
btw, to install g++ you should first install gcc, then download libg++
and install it. Read the READMEs which come with those packages.
The primary gnu site is:
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu
Some mirror sites (which I use because they are close to me):
ftp://ftp.rug.ac.be/pub/gnu
ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/gnu
Hope this helps a bit,Please feel free to mail me when you have problems
installing any off
these packages.
============= yea, Christophe it helps a lot thanks ====================

I can make the latest distribution (3.14) available to you. I have it in
both setld kit format, and a gzip'ed tar archive. Let me know if you're
still interested, or haven't already received the software from
elsewhere.

Hy,
try the teTeX distribution. I am using on Alphas it works fine.
You can on servers as nic.switch.ch.
sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
/pub/comp/tex/teTeX/distrib
>From Mike we get:
There are mirror sites, one of which I used. This stuff was all compiled,
and installation was easy. After making a few fonts, I had this thing
formatting physics papers filled with incomprehensible formulae.
