SPM/Installation on Linux

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

All versions of SPM are supported under Linux 32 bit and the installation should be fairly the same with any version. You might have to recompile SPM MEX files (*.mexglx) if those provided with the SPM distribution do not appear to be compatible with your system. The Troubleshooting section of the Linux 64 bit installation page might also contain some useful information.
