Prerequisites for Linux
From ASCEND
[edit] To Build ASCEND
You can usually just use the default versions of these that come with current versions of Linux. But just check them, anyway:
- gcc and g++ (3.x or 4.x)
- gfortran or g77 (we are recommending gfortran, because a FORTRAN-90 compiler is required if you want to build CONOPT)
- flex
- bison
- python 2.4 or newer
- scons (0.98.x, some older versions OK too)
- swig (>=1.3.24)
- sundials (>=2.2.0) or note that we have an RPM
- Tcl/Tk 8.3 or newer
- Tktable 2.8 or newer
OpenSUSE is very out of date with SCons. You will not be able to use their version (as of May 2007).
[edit] To Run ASCEND
The PyGTK GUI:
- gtk+
- pygtk
