How to install Pythonika on Ubuntu?

  • 772

I tried to install Pythonika on my Ubuntu 14.04 (64) with python 2.7.6. I followed Salem's answer, but there are some errors.

The Makefile.linux 

# Set the paths according to your MathLink Developer Kit location.
# (The paths should not contain whitespaces)

MATHEMATICA_INSTALL_DIR = /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.0
MLINKDIR = ${MATHEMATICA_INSTALL_DIR}/SystemFiles/Links/MathLink/DeveloperKit

SYS = Linux-x86-64
CADDSDIR = ${MLINKDIR}/${SYS}/CompilerAdditions

INCDIR = ${CADDSDIR}
LIBDIR = ${CADDSDIR}

MPREP = "${CADDSDIR}/mprep"
MCC = "${CADDSDIR}/mcc"

# Modify the following for Python versions other than 2.6
PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR = 2
PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR = 7


# Path to the Python includes (modify according to Python version)
#
PYTHONINC = /usr/include/python${PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR}.${PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR}/


PYTHONIKA = Pythonika
INCLUDES = -I${INCDIR} -I${PYTHONINC}

# libstdc++ and librt are, apparently, needed for correct compilation under Linux
# with libMLi3 statically linked
#
##     Ununtu 14.04 
LIBS = -L${LIBDIR} ${LIBDIR}/libML64i3.a -lstdc++ -lpthread -lm -lrt -    lpython${PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR}.${PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR}


all : Pythonika

Pythonika: ${PYTHONIKA}.o ${PYTHONIKA}tm.o
${CC} ${INCLUDES} ${PYTHONIKA}.o ${PYTHONIKA}tm.o ${LIBS} -o ${PYTHONIKA}

${PYTHONIKA}tm.o: ${PYTHONIKA}.tm
${MPREP} ${PYTHONIKA}.tm -o ${PYTHONIKA}tm.c
${CC} -c ${PYTHONIKA}tm.c ${INCLUDES}

${PYTHONIKA}.o: ${PYTHONIKA}.c
${CC} -c ${PYTHONIKA}.c ${INCLUDES}

clean :
rm -f ${PYTHONIKA}tm.* ${PYTHONIKA}.o ${PYTHONIKA}

The error is

  1. None of the compiled versions available match your OS/arch, so you will need to compile it by yourself. Roughly, you need to follow those steps:

    • Install the building tools 

      $ sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion python-dev

    • Get the source code:

      $ svn checkout http://pythonika.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pythonika-src
$ cd pythonika-src

    • Edit the file Makefile.linux and check the path in MATHEMATICA_INSTALL_DIR is correct. Also you will need to change PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR to "7" (if you are using the python version installed by default).

    • Compile it

      $ make -f Makefile.linux

    If everything went well, you should have a file named Pythonika inside that folder. If you get any error, update your question with the errors you get.

  2. You have to install uuid-dev package. You can do so by executing this command in Terminal (to launch Terminal do CRTL + ALT + T):

    sudo apt-get install uuid-dev

    And say in Makefile.linux file that you need the library libuuid.so. To do that, edit the file and add -luuid to the line:

    LIBS = -L${LIBDIR} ${LIBDIR}/libML64i3.a -lstdc++ -lpthread -lm -lrt -lpython${PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR}.${PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR}

    So you should have something like this:

    LIBS = -L${LIBDIR} ${LIBDIR}/libML64i3.a -lstdc++ -luuid -lpthread -lm -lrt -lpython${PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR}.${PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR}

    That's all.
