Installing from source on Linux

From LINA Wiki

IMPORTANT NOTE: Compiling LINA from source is a complex and time-consuming process that involves downloading approximately a gigabyte of auxilliary code and installing several helper applications on your machine. If you have little or no experience building software from source, you may wish to wait a few weeks for the 0.72 release. This release will include easy-to-install platform-specific LINA binaries of under 100MB.

Following are brief instructions for building LINA from source on Linux. We have tested this build on Fedora7, openSUSE 10.2, Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) Ubuntu7.10 (Gutsy).

Note that a large number of Open Source tools developed by third parties are needed in order to build LINA. We have bundled these tools together into two compressed files which also need to be downloaded in order to build LINA from source.

We are working right now to build and test binaries for installing LINA on various platforms. These binaries will be around 100MB in size - much smaller than all the code necessary to build LINA.

Instructions for specific Linux distros:

Installing from source on Fedora7 or Fedora8
Installing from source on OpenSUSE 10.2 or OpenSUSE 10.3
Installing from source on Ubuntu 7.04 or Ubuntu 7.10

We will be testing on Fedora8, OpenSUSE 10.3 in the early weeks of November.
