If the method below does not work, check the forum. Also try using the latest (CVS) version rather than the budled tar, we may have fixed something!
To install Elle you will require the following libraries to be installed, (the description below works for UBUNTU, but should be similar for other distributions)
- GTK+ (http://www.gtk.org and comes with all standard Linux distributions)
- GCC with Fortran (comes with all standard Linux distributions)
- WXWidgets installed using the correct options (http://www.wxwidgets. org and comes with all standard Linux distributions). Currently we require the 2.6.4 version available from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWidgets-2.6.4.tar.gz which is probably not available directly on the Ubuntu distribution in its GTK form, so you will have to compile this yourself with the correct configure options (see below) i.e. once you have downloaded the source code for Wxwidgets 2.6.4 you have to start from scratch and compile that first (you may need to install other libraries first to get wxwidgets installed: you can get a general idea as to how to do this from http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Compiling_and_getting_started ):
change to wxwidgets directory./configure --with-gtk --with-opengl --with-zlib (I am not sure if the last two are needed, or if they are spelled correctly, start with ./configure --help)
make
sudo make install
To install the Elle platform on your Linux computer (for both Users and Developers):
1. download the source code from http://tinyurl.com/5ss4b into a directory called elle, and untar the file, and then the three tar files, which will produce three directories called elle, extras and experiments
2. open up a shell window, and then change to the directory elle/elle and type in ./install.sh wx > debug.txt&
This will compile the complete Elle platform on your computer , assuming that all the correct libraries have been installed on your system.
