Installation

Prerequisites

You need to have installed:

• ACE ( http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html )
• YARP ( http://eris.liralab.it/yarp/ )
• libxml2 ( http://xmlsoft.org/ )

You need to have the YARP_DIR environment variable pointing to where YARP is, so MeRMaID::support can find it. In a bash shell you will need to do:

 export YARP_DIR=<dir where you have YARP>

Unpack and Compile

Unpack MeRMaID::support:

 tar zxf mermaid-support-<version>.tgz

Cd to mermaid-support:

 cd mermaid-support

cmake + make:

 cmake .
 make

Installation

Create, as root, the directory in which MeRMaID::support will be installed (/opt/mermaid).

 sudo mkdir /opt/mermaid

Install MeRMaID::support, as root:

 sudo make install

Don't forget to add /opt/mermaid/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig (as root).

Final configuration.

Set the MERMAID_DIR variable to point to where MeRMaID::support has just been installed. In our example it is /opt/mermaid

 export MERMAID_DIR=/opt/mermaid

Add MeRMaID::support's binary directory to your path:

 export PATH=$PATH:$MERMAID_DIR/bin
