UCVM Installation Notes

UCVM is a complex collection of software with advanced high-performance capabilities. These capabilities introduce a significant amount of complexity building and using UCVM. To simply, UCVM is designed towards specific target computing systems, typically Linux. However, the software has been ported to multiple systems, and this page provides details on the status of those installations.

UCVM Current Version

This works focuses on building and using the most recent version of UCVM which is UCVM v15.10.0. We are testing the "all models" version of UCVM. In this case, as we install using, we respond "Yes" to each model that it offers.

UCVM Installation on a Mac OS X

Here are details about a successful installation of all models on a recent Macbook Pro running OS X with Xcode installed

• OS X El Capitan (Version 10.11.4)
• Xcode (Version 6.3.1)
• gcc versions

scecadms-MacBook-Pro-2:test maechlin$ which gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc
scecadms-MacBook-Pro-2:test maechlin$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/local/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin14.0.0/4.9.2/lto-wrapper
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.0.0
Configured with: ../gcc-4.9-20141029/configure --enable-languages=c++,fortran
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.9.2 20141029 (prerelease) (GCC)

Once the OS and Xcode is installed, we need to install the auto tools suite. The following commands must run on the command line for the UCVM installation to work.

% autoscan
% aclocal

If these commands don't run on your Mac, you need to install the auto tools suite in order to build UCVM. Autotools installation (via script of) Get Autotools Script

• • autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
  • automake-1.15.tar.gz
  • libtool-2.4.6.tar.gz
  • Installation Script
• Once installed following commands run on shell command line
  • %autoscan
  • %aclocal

In a user directory unzip the icvm-15.10.0.tar.gz file

tar- zxvf ucvm-15.10.0.tar.gz

scecadms-MacBook-Pro-2:ucvm maechlin$ tar zxvf *.gz
x ./UCVM/
X ./UCVM/
...

Then

%cd UCVM into /Users/maechlin/Documents/dev/ucvm/UCVM 

Then ./ucvm_setup.py

Install in default location and respond (yes) to all models:

Where would you like UCVM to be installed?
(Default: /Users/maechlin/ucvm-15.10.0)
Enter path or blank to use the default path : (hit return to accept default path)

Would you like to download and install CVM-S5?
Enter yes or no: yes

Would you like to download and install CCA?
Enter yes or no: yes

Would you like to download and install CVM-S4.26?
Enter yes or no: yes

Would you like to download and install CVM-H?
Enter yes or no: yes

Would you like to download and install CVM-S4?
Enter yes or no: yes

Would you like to download and install CenCalVM?
Enter yes or no: yes

You have indicated that you would like to download and install
CVM-S5, CCA, CVM-S4.26, CVM-H, CVM-S4, and CenCalVM

You have indicated that you would like to download and install
Euclid3, Proj4, and FFTW

Now setting up UCVM libraries...

Once the build is complete, we run "make check"

Build Process: The download and build process, at USC, takes several hours. For example, just download the CenCalVM takes more than 20 minutes, and more time is required to build the installation. During the installation, various scripts are run that produce both errors and warnings. The installation process

%make check fails with link library error
