2) Installation

2-1) Platforms

ESOLID Version 0.3 has been tested on

Linux Fedora Core 5 and g++ 4.1.0

on Intel x86 CPU's.

2-2) Prerequisite Libraries

To build and run ESOLID Version 0.3, the GNU MP (gmp) and LAPACK (clapack) are required.

2-2-1) The GNU MP (gmp)

The GNU MP (gmp) 4.0 or later must be pre-installed on your machine. For more information, visit the GNU MP homepage:

 http://www.swox.com/gmp/

The compiled binaries for Fedora Core 5 on Intel x86 CPU's is available at

 http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/gmp-4.1.4-6.2.1.i386.rpm
 http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/gmp-devel-4.1.4-6.2.1.i386.rpm

We assume the header file

 gmp.h

is located at

 /usr/include

and the archive

 libgmp.a or libgmp.so

at

 /usr/lib.

If the name and/or location of any of those is different, edit Makefile and correct it.

2-2-2) LAPACK (CLAPACK)

To build and run ESOLID Version 0.3, CLAPCK must be pre-installed on your machine.

LAPCK is originally written in FORTRAN. CLAPACK is a version of LAPACK written in C. For more information, visit CLAPACK homepage:

 http://www.netlib.org/clapack/index.html

2-2-2-1) BLAS is required to run CLAPACK. If BLAS is not present on your machine, then build and use "cblas", that is contained in the source code of "clapack". Note that the performance of CLAPACK, and ESOLID, as well, largely depends on the performance of the BLAS library.

2-2-2-2) Please, download the source code of "clapack" from

        http://www.netlib.org/clapack/index.html

     and build it.

We assume the archives

libclapack.a
libF77.a

are located at /usr/local/lib. If the name and/or location of any of those is different, edit Makefile and correct it.

2-3) Installation

2-3-1) De-archive ESOLID-0.3.tar.gz by

        gzip -cd ESOLID-0.3.tar.gz | tar -xf -

   and you will have the directory ESOLID. Move there by

        cd ESOLID.

2-3-2) Look at

        Makefile
        Makefile.flags
        Makefile.system

   and modify them if necessarily. Also, look at

        include/config.h
        src/config.cc

   and modify them if necessarily.

2-3-2) To make binary for the complete ESOLID binary, "esolid", simply type

        make

   or

        make esolid.

   To make binary for the MAPC binary, "mapc", type

        make mapc.
