[mcstas-users] mcstas 2 rpm install on RHEL 6.4

Tue Apr 2 14:19:53 CEST 2013

Hi Rob,

I have now tried McStas 2.0 on a RHEL 6 evaluation copy - and things seem to work here if EPEL is enabled.

- That being said, a surprisingly large number of packages (126) are requested for upgrade once the EPEL repo is set up (!).

Further, I found that I could only run mcgui & mcplot in the perl versions if I made a symlink for pgplot in /usr/lib64:

sudo ln -s libpgplot.so.5 libpgplot.so

Best,

Peter

Hi Rob,

In the meantime I have also downloaded an evaluation of RHEL 6.4 just to see if I can reproduce your trouble…

Best,

Peter

Hi Rob,

Sorry that RHEL causes this kind of trouble…

I don't have RHEL available here and therefore concentrated my rpm efforts around CentOS and Scientific Linux that are RHEL derivates - and my solution for those platforms includes the addition of the EPEL repository (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) to the target machine. As far as I know all dependencies should resolve once that repository is added.

Did you try enabling that repo on your RHEL box?

Best,

Peter

There are a couple of annoying sticking points with a RHEL 6.4 rpm install.

Libgd.so.2 is not included as part of the standard rpms (for some reason) and the standard gnuplot install rpm is irritatingly called gnuplot44.

Both these break the install.
After hunting around you can find a gnuplot install for CentOS 6.4 and a suitable libgd.

It takes a bit longer than you would like though.
Can the rpm be made to look for the alternative gnuplot44 as well as gnuplot
Can some instructions regarding libgd be placed somewhere

Thanks

Rob
