Blitz++ is a C++ template class library which provides array objectsfor scientific computing.  It is not a linear algebra or fft library;see http://oonumerics.org/oon for libraries that will do those things.The original Blitz website is at http://oonumerics.org/blitz.  The Blitzproject is now hosted by SourceForge and can be found on the web at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/blitz.Licensing information is at http://oonumerics.org/legal.Summary: you can do anything except sell this library in sourceform.  Blitz is licensed under both the GPL (see COPYING)and a less restrictive (non-viral) "artistic license" (see LICENSE).1.

Compiling programsAll Blitz++ header files are referred to with a prefix of "blitz/".For example, to use the Array<T,N> class, one needs to include<blitz/array.h> instead of just <array.h>.To make this work, the main Blitz++ directory must be inyour include path.  For example, if Blitz++ was installedin /software/Blitz++, you will need to compile with-I/software/Blitz++ and -L/software/Blitz++/lib -lblitzTo summarize, a typical command line is:g++ foo.cpp -o foo -I/software/Blitz++ -L/software/Blitz++/lib -lblitzTo avoid the -I and -L options, you can set up symbolic links -- seeINSTALL for details.3.
