[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OpenSUSE is very out of date with SCons.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
  • matplotlib
  • numpy

To run the Tcl/Tk GUI:
