Installing GraphLab on Centos 6.0

Note: this document described how to install GraphLab 1 (multicore version).
For other versions see: http://graphlab.org/downloads/

For Keren's request..
Login into your CentOS machine, or start Amazon EC2 instance: ami-03559b6a.

1) Installing libboost

yum install boost boost-devel

2) Installing itpp - this step is optional.

yum install lapack autoconf autogen libtool
ln -s /usr/lib64/liblapack.so.3.2.1 /usr/lib64/liblapack.so
ln -s /usr/lib64/libblas.so.3.2.1 /usr/lib64/libblas.so

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/itpp/files/itpp/4.2.0/itpp-4.2.tar.gz
tar xvzf itpp-4.2.tar.gz
cd itpp-4.2
./autogen.sh 
./configure --without-fft --with-blas=/usr/lib64/libblas.so.3 --with-lapack=/usr/lib64/liblapack.so.3 CFLAGS=-fPIC CXXFLAGS=-fPIC CPPFLAGS=-fPIC
make && make install

Note: future version of lalpack may have different library name, check your /usr/lib64
dir for the correct lapack/blas lib names.

3) Install Mercurial

yum install mercurial

4) Install cmake

yum install cmake

5a) Install graphlab from mercurial
Go to graphlab download page, and follow the download link to the mercurial repository.
copy the command string: "hg clone..." and execute it in your ubuntu shell.
hg update v1

or 5b) Install graphlab from tgz file
Go to graphlab download page, and download the latest release.
Extract the tgz file using the command: "tar xvzf graphlabapi_v1_XXX.tar.gz"
where XXX is the version number you downloaded.

6) configure using It++ (if you installed it in step 2)

cd graphlabapi
./configure --bootstrap --itpp_include_dir=/usr/local/include/ --itpp_dynamic_link_dir=/usr/local/lib/libitpp.so --itpp_lapack_dir=/usr/lib64/

6a) Alternatively - you can configure and compile using Eigen:

cd graphlabapi
./configure --bootstrap --eigen

7) compile

cd release/
make -j4

8) Test Graphlab
cd tests

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/
cd release/tests
./runtests.sh

8) Optional: install Octave.
