+GetFEM is an open source library based on collaborative development.
+It aims to offer the most flexible framework for solving potentially
+coupled systems of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations
+with the finite element method. GetFEM is interfaced with some script
+languages (Python, Octave, Scilab and Matlab) so that almost all of
+the functionalities can be used just writing scripts.
+
+If you have matlab installed in your machine, you can also add support
+to it by adding '--enable-matlab' to ./configure command
+
+Take a look at http://getfem.org/install/install_linux.html if you
+build GetFEM with support to octave, scilab or matlab in order to make
+those tools work properly.
+
+Optional dependencies are (if you add '--enable-FEATURE', e.g.:
+--enable-octave, to ./configure command:
+
+- octave
+- scilab
+- qhull
+- mumps
+- metis
