Redhat Enterprise

Follow the general directions, 2.3.2, above when opening the TAR archive. This instance is for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7 (Maipo) Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-1062.4.1.el7.x86_64 .

• Dependencies Install MLOCATE, BLAS, LAPACK development packages using the package manager, like yum:

  mlocate-0.26-8.el7.x86_64
  blas-3.4.2-8.el7.x86_64
  blas-devel-3.4.2-8.el7.x86_64
  lapack-3.4.2-8.el7.x86_64
  lapack-devel-3.4.2-8.el7.x86_64
  

• PLPLOT Build and install plplot [Note cmake-2.8.12.2-2.el7.x86_64 is available with this OS, so you can't use the most recent plplot 5.15.0 which requires a more advanced version of cmake]

  untar plplot-5.11.0
  cd plplot-5.11.0
  mkdir build_dir
  cd build_dir
  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ../ >&cmake.out
      [check cmake.out for any missing dependencies]
  make >&make.out
      [check make.out for any problems]
  make install >&install.out
      [check install.out for any problems]
  

  Depending on what else is installed, you may not get full functionality on the plplot devices (like jpg), but you will likely get postscript. Be sure to install following for xwin device:

  wxBase-2.8.12-20.el7.x86_64
  wxGTK-2.8.12-20.el7.x86_64
  wxGTK-devel-2.8.12-20.el7.x86_64
  wxGTK-gl-2.8.12-20.el7.x86_64
  wxGTK-media-2.8.12-20.el7.x86_64
  

• bsu-3.0.2 Untar bsu-3.0.2.tar.gz in /usr/local/src. Then build in either a gnuplot or plplot directory. ONLY install one or the other, gnuplot or plplot. Best graphics with plplot.
  • bsu+gnuplot From /usr/local/src:

    mkdir bsu+gnuplot
    ../bsu-3.0.2/configure  >&configure.out
    make >&make.out
    make install  >&install.out
    sudo ldconfig
    

  • bsu+plplot From /usr/local/src:

    mkdir bsu+plplot
    ../bsu-3.0.2/configure --with-plplotlib \
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig >&configure.out
    make  >&make.out
    make install  >&install.out
    sudo ldconfig
