QUICKNET installation on Linux

1. Download the QuickNet on http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/Speech/qn.html . ( ftp://ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu/pub/real/davidj/quicknet.tar.gz )

2. Download the ATLAS BLAS libraries from http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/ . ( http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23725 )

3. Download the rtst library for testing from http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/Speech/qn.html . ( ftp://ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu/pub/real/davidj/rtst.tar.gz )

4. Download the example data files from http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/Speech/qn.html . ( ftp://ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu/pub/real/davidj/quicknet_testdata.tar.gz )

5. Install ATLAS BLAS libraries.
5.1 Turn off CPU throttling.
Use the command: sudo /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector -g performance
Before this command, we can use the command: cat /proc/cpuinfo to see the current CUP information before changing it. Note the one "cpu MHz". Also if more than one processor is listed, do the cpufreq-selecrtor command for each processor, using the command " sudo /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector -c 1 -g performance" to turn off throttling for the second processor, as the first processor is denoted as processor 0 and is the default one when "-c " is not specified.
After issue the command turning off the CUP throttling, we can use the command "cat /proc/cupinfo" to list out the information of the CPU, then you will see that the "cpu MHz" has been increase.
5.2 After all the processors are set to the performance mode, Extract the source from the downloaded tarball file. And create a build folder under the ATLAS folder, for example named with "build".
Then first "cd" to the ATLAS folder.
cd build
../configure -b 64 -D c -DPentiumCPS=2400
"-b 64" set the target to be 64 bit, which is recommanded if no other reasons.
"-D c -DPentiumCPS=2400" tells the configuration the CPU is Cour2Core 2.4GHz.
After I type the above command, it prompts errors saying that no Fortran compiler is found. Then,
sudo apt-get install gfortran
sudo apt-get install fort77
Next redo the command "../configure -b 64 -D c -DPentiumCPS=2400".
At the last line, "DONE configure" is printed out, yes!
5.3 Type command : make build
After several steps during building, i got following errors:
ATL_dset_xp1yp0aXbX.c: Assembler messages:

Having no idea to go on...
At last I found that somebody install the static library of ATLAS.
Using Synaptic Package Manager to search atlas, and select "libatlas-sse2-dev" to install. At the same time two dependencies "libatlas-headers" and "libatlas3gf-see2" are installed together.
Maybe in the command line, using sudo apt-get install libatlas-sse2-dev will also work.
From: http://seehuhn.de/pages/linear

However, after using that package, I could not find the include and lib file of ATLAS for QuickNet's installation. Thus I removed those package and retry the installation from the source.

Searching the web, I found that the error was caused by the settings of 32 bits or 64 bits. To have a try, I set the configuration to not use the default system archeticuture.
../configure -b 64 -D c -DPentiumCPS=2400 -v 2 -Si archdef 0
make build
Using these two commands, it works. What's more, after the make build command, it automatically make check, make tune and install. Even finally make clean.

In my opinion, maybe for the configuration, -b 64 is changed to be 32 will work either. Or only use the last parameter is enough "-Si archdef".

Finally, it was correctly installed after nearly 3 hours!

However, one thing must be noted is that when type the make install command, do be sure you have the root privillages. Or the operation will be denied. So for this command use "sudo make install".


6. Install QuickNet.
Extract QuickNet source files and the test data files.
"cd" to into the source folder.
mk build
cd build
../configure --with-blas=atlas --with-testdata=/home/troy/Software/quicknet/quicknet_testdata CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/atlas/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/atlas/lib"
make
sudo make install
In this step, errors occurs at the make step.
In file included from ../QN_utils.cc:53:
../QN_fir.h:116: error: extra qualification ‘QN_InFtrStream_FIR::’ on member ‘FillDeltaFilt’
../QN_fir.h:118: error: extra qualification ‘QN_InFtrStream_FIR::’ on member ‘FillDoubleDeltaFilt’
../QN_utils.cc: In function ‘void QN_output_sysinfo(const char*)’:
../QN_utils.cc:87: error: ‘ATL_CCVERS’ was not declared in this scope
../QN_utils.cc:88: error: ‘ATL_CCFLAGS’ was not declared in this scope
What I did is just open the "QN_fir.h" file, remove 'QN_InFtrStream_FIR::'. As in the declearation of the class member function, no need to add the class field.
For the second error, I just commented those two lines as they are just printing out some information.

Also if the option "--with-testdata" is specified, after the install, we can use the scritps built from the source with name "testdata_*.sh" to test the QuickNet.
For example, run command:
cd build
./testdata_qnstrn.sh

Finally, it is installed on my machine. Next thing is to understand how it works, so that I can use it for my experiments. Good luck to myself!
