[Mrtrix-discussion] Configure & Build mrtrix on Zeus /RHEL6 Linux

[Zachary Greenberg]

Hi mrtrix experts,

I'm attempting to configure & build mrtrix from source on a Zeus or
RHEL6-like linux cluster (lots of cores!).

I'm having some trouble getting configure to run, with errors occurring
during g++ compiler detection. I don't have sudo access on the cluster so
we have to build everything in our home directory (unpacked rpms for all
the needed libs, and added to Path).

The error I'm getting is:

./configure

MRtrix build type requested: release

Detecting OS: linux

Checking for C++11 compliant compiler [g++]: ('Unexpected error:', "(<type
'exceptions.TypeError'>, TypeError('decode() takes no keyword arguments',),
<traceback object at 0x791b48>)")

ERROR: compiler not found!

Use CXX environment variable to set path to compiler, as follows:

CXX=/usr/bin/g++-4.2 ./configure

I've tried with:

CXX=/path/to/g++-4.6 LD=/path/to/g++-4.6 ./configure,

with the same results. Has this error been encountered before by anyone?
and if so, what was the solution?

Thanks for your help and let me know if I can add more details.
-Zack
