AWS has a discussion forum, currently with no questions about installing the AWS GLPK package. That may be a better place to ask. I notice the available packages include gcc4.7, there are many questions and answers about installing that, see [1]https://forums.aws.amazon.com/search.jspa?objID=f30&q=gcc&x=14&y=14. Given that the AWS package is GLPK4.40, you may be better installing gcc with help from the above forum if needed, then obtaining the latest glpk (4.48) and compiling it, with help from this group and the wiki as needed.
A final option is that rpm packages can be installed on AWS. You could obtain any rpm for 4.48 and install that. -- Nigel Galloway [email protected] On Thu, Apr 11, 2013, at 08:06 AM, David Curran wrote: Hi Has anyone used glpk on an Amazon ec2 micro instance? I am having trouble getting it working sudo yum install glpk works fine sudo yum list installed includes "glpk.x86_64 4.40-1.1.4.amzn1 @amzn-main" and yum search glpk gives ============================== N/S Matched: glpk =============================== glpk-devel.x86_64 : Development headers and files for GLPK glpk-doc.x86_64 : Documentation for glpk glpk-static.x86_64 : Static version of GLPK libraries glpk-utils.x86_64 : GLPK-related utilities and examples glpk.i686 : GNU Linear Programming Kit glpk.x86_64 : GNU Linear Programming Kit But from here how do you actually run glpsol or even call glpk.h as a library? <glpk.h> is not found if I include it in a c file or if I try gem install of rglpk [ec2-user rubygems-1.8.11]$ sudo gem install rglpk I get checking for main() in -lglpk... no ERROR: Cannot find the GLPK library, aborting. a 'find / -name glpk*' does not find glpk files either. I could be doing something stupid with linux rather than linux on ec2. But any help you can provide me on how to get a "hello world" glpk example running on amazon ec2 linux would be great.
