Re: RFP: levmar -- Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear least squares algorithms in C/C++

Hi,

Two years ago I put an autotools-based build system into levmar 2.6 to
facilitate its use with abinit. In particular, we were interested in
having a shared library. I only had to slightly modify the main include
file in order to take benefit from config.h and exchanged a few emails
with upstream who was favorable to its packaging.

I also put it on my package todo list for the science-nanoscale-physics*
metapackages with a low priority. It is still waiting as-is in the queue
and I did not do anything about it yet because few abinit users require
this feature and it still passes the tests.

I can make it available for anyone interested. Just ask me.

Best regards,

Yann.
