Preparation

1. Download the Berkeley UPC from the Download Site. I use the http://upc.lbl.gov/download/
2. Compile GNU 4.8.x. Do take a look at Compiling GNU 4.8.1 on CentOS 6
3. Compile OpenMPI on GNU-4.8.1

Compilation

Step 1: Make sure your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH reflect the GNU and OpenMPI Path

Step 2: Untar and Compile Berkeley UPC

# tar -zxvf berkeley_upc-2.22.0.tar.gz
# cd berkeley_upc-2.22.0
# mkdir build
# cd build
# ../configure CC=gcc CXX=g++ MPI_CC=mpicc --prefix=/usr/local/berkeley_upc-2.22.0
# gmake

Step 3: Untar and Compile the local UPC-C translator

Download the Berkeley Translator from the Download site. http://upc.lbl.gov/download/source.shtml#translator

# tar -zxvf berkeley_upc_translator-2.18.0.tar.gz
# cd berkeley_upc_translator-2.18.0
# make

After completion of successful build, it will show you the translator location path. Copy the line

translator = /usr/local/berkeley_upc_translator-2.18.0/open64/osprey1.0/build_ia64

and replace the line at the following files

/usr/local/RH6_apps/berkeley_upc-2.22.0/dbg/etc/upcc.conf
/usr/local/RH6_apps/berkeley_upc-2.22.0/opt/etc/upcc.conf

Step 4: Finally make install Berkeley UPC

# make install

Step 5: Test

# upcc --version
# upcrun
