Install and use dislin under linuxe (debian).

1. Download and install the library according to the README file.
2. Copy /usr/local/dislin/dislin.h to /usr/local/include/
3. Copy /usr/local/dislin/libdislin.a to /usr/local/lib/
Now it should work using the following options when compile the program.
> g++ test.cpp -lXt -ldislin -lm
Don't forget the -lXt

Another option is:
> g++ test.cpp /usr/local/dislin/lib/dislin-9.1.a -lm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXt

I assumed in the above example that dislin is installed in: /usr/local/dislin/. There is no need to change /etc/profile or set the envionment varibles as the README suggested. Here is a very useful link:

Use dislin:
//
// Specify the format of the output file.
//
// metafl ( "PNG" ); //if want to save as png file
metafl("XWIN"); //this just show the graph on screen
//
// Specify the name of the output graphics file.
//
// setfil ( "dislin_ex01.png" ); //only when you want to save the figure.
