CentOS Prerequisites (Packages to Install)

CentOS support

We do not actively develop for, or routinely test on CentOS. We do, however, deploy CentOS VirtualBox guest OS installations for occasional testing.

This list of dependencies should work for CentOS 6.2, but we haven't tested extensively on that platform yet.

CentOS 5.5 packages

The following packages were installed on a default CentOS 5.5 installation and used for our test builds. The subversion package can be omitted if not checking out code from our subversion repository.

• gcc
• gcc-c++
• make (may already be installed)
• subversion
• libXft-devel
• libXmu-devel
• libGLU-devel (Install the libGLU-devel package that corresponds to the libGLU runtime library installed on your system. We installed mesa-libGLU-devel.)

For the CentOS 5.5 64-bit test installation, 64-bit versions of the listed packages were used.

CMake

CMake 2.8 or greater is required to build the SCIRun trunk.

CMake 2.6 or greater is required to build SCIRun versions 4.5 - 4.0.
