Installation

For simplicity use ~/workspace/PyCPPAD as root folder where everything gets installed.
You can adapt this path to fit your needs.

Download PyCppAD
Extract files to ~/workspace/PyCPPAD
Go to the folder cppad-20081128 and do:
```
./configure --prefix=~/workspace/PyCPPAD
```
You should now have the following folders: ~/workspace/PyCPPAD/include/cppad
Do cd ~/workspace/PyCPPAD and modifify the SConstruct file:
```
editor SConstruct
```
Change LIBS, LIBPATH, INCLUDEPATH to fit your system. You shouldn’t have to change anything else.
Now you can build the python module with:
```
scons
```
(scons works much the same as make. make automatically reads Makefile and scons automatically reads SConstruct)

If everything worked out, you should should have now the following file
~/workspace/PyCPPAD/release/cppad/_cppad.so

Easy example
change directory to ~/workspace/PyCPPAD/examples and run

python simple_multiplication.py
