Step-by-step to install Shark Lib on Ubuntu

Step 1: Install g++
Check whether g++ compiler has been installed on the target Linux machine by entering the following in the command prompt:
$g++

If the target Linux machine indicates no g++ compiler is installed on the machine, proceed to install the compiler by entering the following in the command prompt:
$sudo apt-get install g++

Step 2: Install CMake
Check whether cmake has been installed on the target linux machine, by entering the following in the command prompt:
$cmake -help

If the target linux machine indicates no cmake is installed on the machine, proceed to install cmake by entering the following in the command prompt:
$sudo apt-get install cmake

Step 3: Install Shark
To install Shark library, download the software package shark-2.3.4.zip from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/shark-project/files/

Unzip it (to unzip, if you are using ubuntu, right-click the zip file and click "Extract Here" from the context menu), next cd to the unzipped "Shark" folder, and run the following commands:
$cmake
$make
$sudo make install
This will install Shark (where using ubuntu, the installed directory can be found at usr/local)

Step 4: Makefile
Below is an example of the makefile which include the Shark lib for building the solver (the highlighted part is the Shark lib related)

SHARKHOME=/usr/local

LDLIBS=-lshark
LDFLAGS=-L${SHARKHOME}/lib -Wl,-rpath,${SHARKHOME}/lib
