APPS/MATH/OCTAVE

Building Octave (CentOS 5.x)

Download from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/

Required build packages:

glpk-devel qrupdate-devel hdf5-devel fftw-devel qhull-devel curl-devel arpack-devel readline-devel pcre-devel gnuplot suitesparse-devel texinfo

Packages built from source:

GotoBLAS2 - BLAS/LAPACK http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/tacc-projects/gotoblas2/

Configuration script (conf_octave):

#!/bin/sh

INSTALLDIR=/sw/pkg/octave/3.2.4
BLASLIB=/sw/pkg/gotoblas2/1.13/lib/libgoto2.a
LAPACKLIB=/sw/pkg/gotoblas2/1.13/lib/libgoto2.a
F77="gfortran"

./configure --prefix=$INSTALLDIR --with-blas=$BLASDIR --with-lapack=$LAPACKLIB --without-curl --disable-docs</pre

Build octave:

<pre>$ ./conf_octave
$ make

Test octave:

$ make test

The imread test will fail as we haven't configured it.

Install octave:

$ su
$ make install

Setting up runtime environment

The following runtime script can be used. Please replace with your own search paths:

#!/bin/bash
#
# OCTAVE runtime environment script for Nordugrid ARC
#
# Runtime environment scripts are called (bash source)
#   from NorduGrid ARC with argument 0,1 or 2.
# First call with argument "0" is made before the the batch
#   job submission script is written.
# Second call is made with argument "1" just prior to execution of the
#   user specified executable.
# Third "clean-up" call is made with argument "2" after the user
#   specified executable has returned.

    # Setup octave home directory
    export OCTAVE_HOME=/sw/pkg/octave/3.2.4

    # include Octave binaries in the path
    export PATH=$PATH:$OCTAVE_HOME/bin

    # Now, calling argument is wrong or missing.
    # If call was made from NorduGrid ARC, it is considered
    # an error. If this script is to be used also to initialize
    # MPI environment for local jobs in cluster, raising error here
    # could be improper.
