DISLIN Installation Process for Ubuntu Linux

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the installation issues of DISLIN for Fortran90 on Ubuntu, specifically with the DEB distribution. The user successfully installed the RPM version but encountered an error when attempting to install the DEB package using the command "sudo dpkg -i dislin-10.4.linux.i586_64.deb." The error message indicates that the system cannot access the specified archive, suggesting that the file may not be in the expected directory or the path provided is incorrect. There is a suggestion to join the DISLIN discussion group for further assistance. Additionally, questions arise about the necessity of installing both RPM and DEB versions, indicating potential confusion about the installation process.

I am currently trying to install DISLIN for use with Fortran90 on Ubuntu, following the steps from DISLIN; - ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/grafik/dislin/linux/i586_64/README.I586_64

RPM Distribution Installation was successful.
This is not the case however for DEB Distribution of DISLIN.

INPUT: sudo dpkg -i dislin-10.4.linux.i586_64.deb

OUTPUT: dpkg: error processing archive dislin-10.4.linux.i586_64.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
dislin-10.4.linux.9586_64.deb


Don't know what my issue is and can;t seem to find much elsewhere, so any help I am sure would benefit more than just myself.
Many thanks to all

Wouldn't it be better to join the DISLIN discussion group and ask for help there?
 
Code:

dpkg: error processing archive dislin-10.4.linux.i586_64.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
dislin-10.4.linux.9586_64.deb
... dpkg could not find the package you want to install.
either put the deb in dpkg's default install path or provide the path to the deb in the commandline

why are you installing both rpm and deb versions?

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
