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

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

# If you have root access a mascd machine:

# 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

Fedora

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

• • Synplify Pro 9.62 is 32-bit. It needs:

a compatible libstdc++, tcl, qt

install by:

   sudo yum install -y compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-64.i386 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-64.x86_64
   sudo yum install -y qt-4.4.3-15.fc10.i386 qt-x11-4.4.3-15.fc10.i386 tcl.i386 tcl.x86_64 nss_ldap-264-1.fc10.i386
   

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

• LDAP setup (NEED Root of mascd2 or working FC machine)

  scp mascd2:/etc/ldap.conf /etc/
  scp mascd2:/etc/nsswitch.conf /etc
  scp -r mascd2:/etc/openldap/ldap.conf /etc/openldap/
  scp -r mascd2:/etc/openldap/cacerts/cert8.pem /etc/openldap/cacerts/
 
  run
  setup -> Authentication Configuration 
      User Information: 
          Cache Information
          Use LDAP
 
      Authentication:
          Use Shadow Passwords
          Use LDAP
          Local authorization is sufficient
      Next -> Finish
 
  Done
    

• Setup automount

  yum install -y autofs
  mkdir /mada
  unalias cp
  scp -f mascd1:/etc/auto.master mascd1:/etc/auto.mada /etc/
  service autofs restart

• 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
