Installing runtime libraries on Linux

UNIX/Linux Installation > Installing runtime libraries on Linux

PV-WAVE requires two runtime libraries from the Oracle Solaris Studio compiler in order to run on Linux.

Before running PV-WAVE, you need to download and unpack the Oracle Solaris Studio 12.4 (or later) compiler (SolarisStudio12.4-linux-x86.rpm.tar.bz2) and install the necessary runtime libraries using the command-line installer.

note	You may safely ignore any warning messages stating that your OS distribution is not supported. You only need the runtime libraries to run PV-WAVE.

To install the runtime libraries:

1. You must have root access to install these libraries.

2. Change to the directory containing the downloaded distribution.

3. Start the installer by typing:

# ./solarisstudio.sh --non-interactive --libraries-only --installation-location <install_dir>

where <install_dir> is the compiler installation directory.

note	By default the install directory is /opt.

The installer runs silently and returns your prompt when installation is complete. It writes a log file in the /.nbi/log directory.

4. Create soft links in your /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 directory to libmtsk.so.1 and libmtsk_crt.so.1.

On 64-bit:

# ln -s <install_dir>/solarisstudio12.4/lib/compilers/rtlibs/usr/lib/amd64/libmtsk.so.1 libmtsk.so.1

# ln -s <install_dir>/solarisstudio12.4/lib/compilers/rtlibs/usr/lib/amd64/libmtsk_crt.so.1 libmtsk_crt.so.1

On 32-bit:

# ln -s <install_dir>/solarisstudio12.4/lib/compilers/rtlibs/usr/lib/libmtsk.so.1 libmtsk.so.1

# ln -s <install_dir>/solarisstudio12.4/lib/compilers/rtlibs/usr/lib/libmtsk_crt.so.1 libmtsk_crt.so.1
