External Libraries
EMAN2 has lots of dependent libraries. To compile EMAN2 from source, you need install development packages for these external libraries. Depends on your Linux distribution, you can either install them by yum(Fedora, CentOS, RedHat), urpmi(Mandriva), yast(SuSE), synaptic/apt-get(Ubuntu). Or compile them form source code.
For linux, the easiest approach for most distributions is to simply install the dependencies using your package manager. If you are using a RedHat derivative, you will need the -devel packages as well as the library packages
- For the mac, if you use one of the open-source package managers for the Mac, you can probably do something similar, but note that EMAN2 DOES work very well with the system-provided Python under snow-leopard, and the package managers tend to force you to use their own compilation of things like Python. On my Mac (Steve) I built the dependencies from source and installed under /usr/local.
There is a collection of dependencies at link. These may not all be the most recent version but they are versions we have compiled from source and proved that they work with EMAN2. In virtually all cases, newer versions will also be fine.
Here is a current list of dependencies (all can be obtained for free):
