Unable to install on local cluster

[rohitarora10]

I have been unable to install FAMSA on our local cluster. Cluster admins tell me they tried out the two available linux executables for version 1.2, in an effort to avoid compiling the tool. These executables were both compiled with newer libraries than are available on the cluster, so perhaps the best bet is to compile FAMSA from source code.

I also could not compile FAMSA (using the tar.gz for version 1.2). I tried compiling it with each of the available GCC modules.

ra@gallery:~$ yum list installed | grep -i --color gcc
gcc.x86_64                             4.4.7-17.el6                     @base   
gcc-c++.x86_64                         4.4.7-17.el6                     @base   
gcc-gfortran.x86_64                    4.4.7-17.el6                     @base   
libgcc.x86_64                          4.4.7-17.el6                     @frozen 

What do I need to do in order to compile? In general, it would be very helpful if you could include a README to help with the installation.

Hello, Please try the latest binary (1.2.1) (it was compiled using older g++ version) and let me know the result.

Hi, thanks for your response. I am still getting an error with the new binary. Could you please suggest a solution? Appreciate your help.

Please try new famsa-1.2.1-linux-static binary with statically linked libraries.

I assume the problem has been solved.
