The latest version can always be found in the download section of the <A HREF="http://pcp.io/">PCP project</A> web pages. Its also worth noting that many Linux distributions now ship PCP - these include Debian, Fedora, Slackware, SuSE and Ubuntu.</P> +<P>PCP GUI runs natively on Mac OS X, X11 (Linux/Unix) and Windows, and binary packages for these platforms are available in the same location.

On the other platforms, like Mac OS X and Windows, this is less of an issue and so a single PCP package is shipped which covers both needs.</P> +<P>PCP GUI has a runtime dependency on the Qt4 shared libraries.
