Wow. its really a challenge for me to install Cactus tookit. 1st step done and next step coming. I would strongly suggest to view http://www.cactuscode.org/WaveToyDemo/ if you have not played with cactus before. Good luck!.

I have had success installing it on Ubuntu Linux. Remember to use make instead of gmake as described in the installation procedure. You might have to install GFortran, CVS, GCC C++, GCC C. I cant remember all of them, but when you try to compile using the make, it will let you know if you are missing certain packages. Just carry on and install the missing ones.
