I successfully installed the Cell SDK 2.0 (minus the simulator) on my PS3. For anyone interested, here are my approximate steps:
(1) Download the SDK iso from the IBM website and burn it on a CD (one can leave it on the HD and use a different mount command). (2) Create the directory /mnt/cellsdk (mkdir /mnt/cellsdk) (3) Mount the CD (mount cdrom /mnt/cellsdk) -might need some flags (4) cd /mnt/cellsdk/software (5) ./cellsdk install --nosim --nokernel This installs without the simulator or kernel. The simulator requires downloading a 400+ meg file from Barcelona, which proved to be a hit or miss operation before I gave up. I'm not sure the PS3 linux has enough graphics capability for it anyway. The kernel is a later version from the one from YDL and I decided to not risk it. (6) At some point, it might complain about a missing rpm. In my case, the culprit was tk-8.4 which I installed using: yum install netpbm- devel tk-8.4.* (7) The install should proceed without much complaint from there. It includes xlc and xlc++ . Good luck. -Warren Nagourney UW Physics ps.
