  1. download and install aquaterm (source)
  2. download and install gnuplot (source)
• hdf5 (source)
  1. configure with "./configure --enable-hdf5v1_4=yes --prefix=/usr/local"

  • NOTE: also requires zlib (should already be installed source)

Installation Procedure

1. Download the most recent davinci source -- This includes iomedley and readline
2. unpack by either double clicking on the zipped tarball or by typing tar -xzpf davinci-1.xx in the directory where davinci was downloaded
3. change in to the davinci-1.xx directory. The steps below will compile davinci for mac without aqua (with X11). Remove "--disable-aqua"
4. for a non-X11 compile. The --prefix allows the user to specify the
5. ./configure --disable-aqua --prefix="INSTALL DIRECTORY"
6. make
7. sudo make install -- if you want to install it into your standard bin directory

Operating System: Mandriva Linux 2007

Dependencies

• libhdf5, libhdf5-devel (HDF support)
• libltdl, ltdl-devel (fixes error regarding ltdl, or "libtool dynamic linking")
• libxorg-x11, libxorg-x11-devel (X11 support - for GUI module)
• lesstif, lesstif-devel (Motif development files - for GUI module)
• libreadline, libreadline-devel (might not be necessary, but no harm in trying)
• libtermcap, libtermcap-devel (related to readline)
• libncurses, libncurses-devel (also related to readline)

Installation Procedure

1. As root, type "urpmi [name]" to install, or use drakrpm for a menu interface):
2. Install all dependencies listed above
3. Reboot after installing dependencies, (this may have fixed an error that occurred while making readline)
4. change into the iomedley directory
5. "./configure"
6. "make"
7. change to the davinci directory
8. "./configure"
9. "make"

Building Fedora Core packages (rpm)

Before you start building rpms, make sure you have rpmbuild installed. Probably you want to have a FITS and HDF5 support. You can either get them in the official websites, or just easier in http://www.rpmfind.net. Package names: cfitsio, cfitsio-devel, hdf5, hdf5-devel. If you want to use GUI module, lesstif and lesstif-devel are also required.

Building process as non-root user:

1. Downlad source
2. tar zxvf davinci-<version>.tgz
3. cd davinci
4. ./build_rpm
5. ls -l *.rpm
6. If the building process is completed properly, the rpm files are copied from the default location ~/rpm/RPM/i386 to the davinci source.

Technical Info about building rpms: The building process is performed by build_rpm script. This script will perform the following steps:

• Create rpm building environment (devault ~/rpm)
• Copy the spec file contrib/davinci.spec to the ~/rpm/SPECS and inject the latest davinci version (from version.h).
• Copy the source file to ~/rpm/SOURCES
• Create the appropriate directory name.
• Invoke rpmbuild

The files are installed under:

• Binary /usr/bin/davinci
• Libraries /usr/lib/libdavinci.la /usr/lib/libiomedley.la
• Modules /usr/lib/davinci
• Docs /usr/share/davinci

Current Davinci Version: 2.27
