Obtaining the IT++ Source Codes

IT++ is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) and hence the source code of the IT++ library is available for free download. To obtain the IT++ source code, visit the project pages on SourceForge:

• http://itpp.sourceforge.net/

and download the file named itpp-<VERSION>.tar.gz or itpp-<VERSION>.tar.bz2, where <VERSION> is the latest release number, e.g. 4.0.0.

Installation

1. Extract it to a folder itpp-<VERSION>

2. cd $PATH/itpp-<VERSION>

    where $PATH is a path of itpp-<VERSION> folder

3. ./configure

4. make && make check && make install

Compilation and Run a example program

1. Download the sample program from the following link

                users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/rm/itppProject.tgz

2. Extract it and cd $PATH/itppProject

3. make -B

4. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

5. bin/a.out

Installation of Matlab in Linux

1.Download the iso files for Matlab R2011a for Linux from the following links

         http://www.fileserve.com/file/E3wbApU

         http://www.fileserve.com/file/bSpTEVd

         http://www.fileserve.com/file/rMhSHqV

         http://www.fileserve.com/file/zykuyGH

         http://www.fileserve.com/file/QzdPVe8

         http://www.fileserve.com/file/rV5BQyn

2. Extract it then you will get a .iso file. Mount that iso by:

     (a)sudo mkdir /media/iso

     (b)sudo modprobe loop

     (c)sudo mount file1.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop

3. cd /media/iso

4. ./install

5. Find the crack folder inside /media/iso. There will be a install.txt file and   license files.

6. Do the installation configurations you want.

7. Continue following the instructions from install.txt

8. Finish the installation.

9. yum install libXp.so.6

Start Matlab

  /usr/local/MATLAB/R2011a/bin/matlab

Here I assumed the installation folder is /usr/local/MATLAB/R2011a/
