The program uses the GSL (Gnu Scientific Library): version 1.2 is good, but 0.x is certainly not good (the dilogarithm function, necessary for computing volumes, is used from that library). The exact version of the gsl (if installed) in your computer can be found by typing > gsl-config --version To use the program named 'ographs', download the file 'ographs.tar', and then type > tar -xf ographs.tar to extract the files from the archive. Then enter the new directory with > cd ographs and compile everything with > make Now you can watch and modify appropriately the file 'triangulation', which contains an example of a triangulation, in an enshortened SnapPea format which the program 'ographs' can read. After that, type > ./ographs triangulation The program tries to find the angles of a geometric decomposition. If it succeeds, it shows the triangulation, angles, volumes, tilts, and some more topological information about the manifold like homology, boundary, a presentation of the foundamental group. After that, it tries to canonize the triangulation. If it succeds, it shows the canonical triangulation.
