Distribution Setup

We support three main Linux distributions (CentOS, Fedora, ubuntu), but you need to maintain some security configuration and packages. Each distribution has its own problems, check the issues before deciding what distribution to install. The distributions should:

• Compile and run SESC and SESCTherm (with CUDA support)

• Run synos rake command

 svn co svn+ssh://mada0.cse.ucsc.edu/mada/server/svn/synos
 cd synos/scoore/fpu
 rake

• Execute vcs

 cd synos/scoore/fpu
 rake test:softfloat_tb

• Execute synplicity_pro

 cd synos/scoore/fpu
 rake fpga:fpu v=1
 ./synplify_fpu.sh

• Execute dc_shell-t

 cd synos/scoore/fpu
 rake asic:fpu v=1
 ./dc_fpu.sh

• Run opencv applications (cd mthd/mgesture)
• Run gosu examples (cd mthd/hdui)

CentOS 5.2

WORKS

sesc,sesctherm, synos, vcs, synplify_pro, dc_shell, opencv

FAILS

* gosu (gem rmagic and ruby-opengl package fail to install)
* sshfs (userspace ssh filesystem mount utility)
* Most modern linux kde related apps

Installation

Install the 64bit packages selecting development and latex packages.

rpm -i opencv*.rpm

yum install SDL_Pango-devel SDL_mixer-devel ImageMagick
gem install gosu

# Setup IP tables
Note: The iptables config file is only readable by root.  

# If you have root access a mascd machine:
sudo scp mada0:/mada/server/setup/setup/iptables /etc/sysconfig/iptables

# If you only have sudo access on some mascdX machine:
#  ssh into that mascd machine, where X is the machine with the file in /tmp 
#  sudo cp /etc/sysconfig/iptables /tmp
#  sudo chmod 777 /tmp/iptables

# Copy the file to your machine and restore correct permissions
#  sudo scp madaX:/tmp/iptables /etc/sysconfig/iptables
#  sudo chmod 600 /etc/sysconfig/iptables

# Lastly, erase the /tmp file on the mascdX machine
#  ssh into it, rm /tmp/iptables

# Setup services correctly
yum install -y chkconfig
scp mada0:/mada/server/setup/setup/setup.serv /root/setup.serv
for a in `grep "3:on" setup.serv  | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 3 $a on;  done
for a in `grep "3:off" setup.serv | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 3 $a off; done
for a in `grep "4:on" setup.serv  | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 4 $a on;  done
for a in `grep "4:off" setup.serv | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 4 $a off; done
for a in `grep "5:on" setup.serv  | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 5 $a on;  done
for a in `grep "5:off" setup.serv | cut -d0 -f1`; do chkconfig --level 5 $a off; done

# Setup automount
mkdir /mada
unalias cp
scp -f mascd1:/etc/auto.master mascd1:/etc/auto.mada /etc/

scp -r mada1:/etc/openldap/ldap.conf /etc/openldap/
scp -r mada1:/etc/openldap/cacerts/cert8.pem /etc/openldap/cacerts/

Ubuntu

WORKS

FAILS

Installation

Fedora

===WORKS=== Fedora 10 x64 NOTE: most software is 64 bit, so make sure the x64 arch type is installed

• • Synplify Pro 9.62 needs:

a compatible libstdc++

install by:

   sudo yum install -y compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-64.i386 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-64.x86_64

DONE

• • VCS 2008-09 needs:

a compatible libstdc++ libtermcap

install by:

   sudo yum install -y compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-64.i386 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-64.x86_64

  copy /lib64/libtermcap.so.2* from any mascd machine into your /lib64
  then rebuild linker database:
  sudo ldconfig

  Note:  If using NFS mounted user directory, make sure to wipe out ./csrc directory (under which you invoke VCS) 
         you so that VCS rebuilds the design with the new GCC, otherwise it will not work.  This may
         become necessary if switching from Fedora to CentOS machines frequently.

DONE

• GOSU (ruby OpenGL lib)

First install Ruby and the like...

  sudo yum install -y ruby-1.8.6.287-2.fc10.x86_64 ruby-libs-1.8.6.287-2.fc10.x86_64 rubygem-rake-0.8.3-1.fc10.noarch ruby-devel-1.8.6.287-2.fc10.x86_64
  sudo yum install -y rubygems-1.3.1-1.fc10.noarch ruby-rdoc-1.8.6.287-2.fc10.x86_64  ruby-mode-1.8.6.287-2.fc10.x86_64 ruby-irb-1.8.6.287-2.fc10.x86_64

Then Install SDL audio related stuff

  sudo yum install -y SDL-1.2.13-7.fc10.i386  SDL-1.2.13-7.fc10.x86_64  SDL-devel-1.2.13-7.fc10.x86_64 
  sudo yum install -y SDL_mixer-1.2.8-9.fc10.x86_64 SDL_mixer-devel-1.2.8-9.fc10.x86_64 SDL_mixer-1.2.8-9.fc10.i386 SDL_mixer-devel-1.2.8-9.fc10.i386
     

Finally Gosu itself

  sudo gem install gosu

DONE

FAILS
