Subject: [Help-glpk] Question about GLPK

<Here, at the University of Chile, we are interested in developing some 
<optimization
<rutines for various engineering problems. I understand that GLPK (linear
<programming rutine) comes with an API for C, C++ written language programs
<¿exclusively? Does this GLPK run (or complie) under pure LINUX? Is it < 
<possible
<to implement in Java written programs?

There is python-glpk which use SWIG to create python binding for glpk.

Python-glpk

In src rpm, there is glpk.i which you can use to create java bindings for glpk. 
Hence, you can write program in java. Or you can use python-glpk and use jython 
for java application, if you don't want to create java-glpk

http://www.jython.org/

GLPK runs in DOS (WinNT, Win 200, WinXp), Linux, MacOS X, etc.
