Installation

Manual installation of python matplotlib on CentOS

We had some problems installing python matplotlib and had to install it manually. The required packages were:

When installing on 64bit machine we had to use the following cmd:

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 && make clean && make && make install

At the end, we had to create directory .matplotlib

mkdir /var/www/.matplotlib
chmod 755 /var/www/.matplotlib

You need to have the following package installed:

And then add to your .profile

if [-z "$LIBRARY_PATH"] then 
 export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
else
 export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$LIBRARY_PATH
fi

If Intel vTune needs root access for hardware counters, users may need to start cM as root, i.e.

su
cm_start_web.sh

All requests from the web to cM will go as root.
