This repository is solely for installing CUTEst on Linux in an easy way including shared libraries. My only objective is to give support to a simple installation for a 64 bits linux computer with gcc and gfortran. If you are using OSX, I suggest the great homebrew-cutest. It also works with Linuxbrew, as an alternative to this installer.
This script uses the git versions of the CUTEst repository, namely CUTEst, SIFDecode, ARCHDefs, sif.
The Julia interface for CUTEst, CUTEst.jl, uses this script to install CUTEst for linux.
CUTEst has a few dependencies. You should be able to easily install wget and
gfortran from your system package manager. It also needs gsl-1.16, which may not be
the version your package manager has. If you want to let the script try to install
gsl-1.16 for you, just enter
./install.sh --install-deps
If you tried to install automatically the dependencies and the script failed, you can help me by opening a pull-request with a fix or at least an issue informing what went wrong.
To install manually the dependencies, check the Requirements, and then enter the command
./install.sh
The script will download the required packages, uncompress, and install.
Then you'll need to add some lines to your .bashrc, with the command
cat cutest_env.bashrc >> $HOME/.bashrc
You need at least wget, gfortran and gsl version 1.16. You also need
libgfortran.so to be visible by your system, which may need additional
commands.
On Ubuntu 14.04, this can be done with
sudo apt-get install wget gfortran libgsl0-dev
and then you have to find libgfortran.so, which is probably
ls /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/XXX/
where XXX is some version number (for instance 5.4.0). After found, use
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/XXX/libgfortran.so /usr/local/lib
Install wget and gfortran.
sudo apt-get install wget gfortran
You'll have to manually install gsl-1.16. Download gsl-1.16 from http://mirror.nbtelecom.com.br/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.16.tar.gz then issue the following commands
tar -zxf gsl-1.16.tar.gz
cd gsl-1.16
./configure
make
sudo make install
Finally, you'll need to make libgfortran.so visible. Probably with
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgfortran.so.3 /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.so
