#=== Building and Installing Exodus on Centos 5.6 x86 and x64 ===

#simply cut and paste everything into a script
# nano installexodus.sh
# . installexodus.sh
#it takes roughly 15 minutes to finish on Centos/Redhat 5 or 5 mins on Redhat/Centos6

#tested on:

 uname -a
 cat /etc/issue

#==== 1. Building and Installing Boost ====

#rather dumb version centos/redhat 5 detection

 sudo yum -y install icu libicu libicu-devel

 #IT IS CRITICAL THAT BOOST-DEVEL IS *NOT* INSTALLED if building boost as follows.
 sudo yum -y remove boost-devel
