Installation

Dependencies

RNMC depends on GSL for pseudo random number generation and sqlite for the database interfaces.

Makefile

On a machine with system versions of GSL and sqlite, the executables can be built with a makefile. There are makefiles inside the GMC, NPMC, or LGMC folders.

Executables for all modules (GMC, NPMC and LGMC) can be created with the build.sh script. This will create a new directory, build, and place all executables inside that.

Alternatively, one can make executables individually for each module. First enter that folder to use the makefile. To create an executable, use make and then the name of the module. The current makefiles will create the executable inside a build directory so please ensure there is a build directory prior to running this command.

For example, to use GMC:

$ cd GMC

$ make GMC

For further help on the makefile and to view other commands:

$ make help

Note that the makefile uses the gsl-config utility to find headers and libraries for GSL. If you are on a cluster and sqlite is not present, it can be built as follows:

cd $HOME
wget https://www.sqlite.org/2021/sqlite-amalgamation-3360000.zip
unzip sqlite-amalgamation-3360000.zip
cd sqlite-amalgamation-3360000
gcc -o libsqlite3.so -shared -fPIC sqlite3.c -lpthread -ldl

in which case, the simulators can be built like this:

export CPATH=$HOME/sqlite-amalgamation-3360000:$CPATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/sqlite-amalgamation-3360000:$LIBRARY_PATH
make GMC

If you need to build GSL from source:

wget https://mirror.ibcp.fr/pub/gnu/gsl/gsl-latest.tar.gz
mkdir gsl
mv gsl-latest.tar.gz gsl
tar -xvf gsl-latest.tar.gz
cd gsl-2.7.1
./configure --prefix=/my/path/to/gsl
make
make install
echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH 
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/my/path/to/gsl-2.7.1

Note that if you build from source use pkg-config gsl instead of gsl-config inside each makefile
