Hello Yu, CentOS is not meant as an operating system with the latest packages. It is rather meant as a stable server operating system. However, you can install the devtoolset-4 SCL which does provide more recent packages, see for example https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-4/ At my university, I have Graph-Tool running on a large number of CentOS 7 servers. For installation, I use the steps as described below this e-mail. Good luck! Kind regards, Frank --- ================================= Installing graph-tool on CentOS (6.)7 ================================= Introduction: ============= This document briefly describes how graph-tool, a package for network analysis, can be installed on a freshly installed CentOS (6.)7 server. It relies both on python and on a number of C++ packages, and it will be installed with OpenMP support for parallel computation. See https://graph-tool.skewed.de/ for more details on the package. Note that for yum install and make install, sudo/root-rights are needed. Installation steps: =================== - yum-install devtoolset-4, which brings GCC compiler version 5, and enable it by typing: scl enable devtoolset-4 bash Or permanently use this SCL by adding to your ~/.bashrc file the line: source /opt/rh/devtoolset-4/enable Depending on which Python version you want graph-tool to talk to, you may also want to install an SCL of Python 2.7 or 3.4. - yum install bzip2-devel zlib-devel expat-devel mpfr-devel (mpfr is needed for CGAL) - pip install scipy numpy matplotlib - optional: yum install cairo-devel cairomm sparsehash-devel graphviz-devel - to avoid confusion and extra steps later on, remove the old boost version using: yum remove boost148* In theory, I guess that maybe you could also leave the old version as is, and only install boost in the devtoolset-4 SCL, but I don't know how that works. - download boost >= 1.6 from http://www.boost.org/ and then install using: ./bootstrap.sh ./b2 install --prefix=/opt/rh/devtoolset-4/root/usr/local If next * is whatever in the next step graph-tool complains about missing from boost, such as iostreams or coroutine, run: ./b2 install --prefix=/opt/rh/devtoolset-4/root/usr/local --with-* - download CGAL from the website http://www.cgal.org/ and install using: cmake . make make install - download graph-tool from the website https://graph-tool.skewed.de/ and install using: ./configure --enable-openmp make Configure with --disable-cairo or --disable-sparsehash if you skipped those optional installs. Other parameters allow one to set for example the python version. Done. --- 2016-07-06 19:28 GMT+02:00 Yu Zheng <yz2235@stanford.edu>:
Hi Tiego,
I hear your concern about using a deprecated version of graph-tool. Unfortunately, I found out that nothing on CentOS7 meet the pre-requisite of graph-tool-2.16, not even the GCC compiler. And after many hours of reading Linux textbook and browsing the internet, we simply did not manage to build graph-tool-2.16 from source. And that's why we opted for graph-tool-2.8 as a far from perfect solution.
I wonder if you have any recommendation or general comments for us non-CS trained researchers installing graph-tool-2.16 on CentOS7? Much appreciated,
Yu

Hi Tiego,
Thank you so much for helping us out! You were right, CGAL were not properly configured on the server.
Instead of building everything from source on CentOS7, I built graph-tool-2.8 instead of the latest release, following the step-by-step directions here: https://gist.github.com/sbonner0/2138f2e3e2b249df51c765e1656f9d48. I hope this link will help others in similar situations.
Much obliged, Yu

CGAL version: 4.9
This might be some incompatibility with version 4.9. I will investigate.
In the mean time, you may downgrade to version 4.8, which should solve the problem.
Best, Tiago
