Following a report that there were issues building ECCE 7 on Centos 6.4 I decided to investigate.
1. Download
Download the centos 6.4 iso: At ftp://mirror.stanford.edu/pub/mirrors/centos/6.4/isos/x86_64/ I downloaded ftp://mirror.stanford.edu/pub/mirrors/centos/6.4/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso
2. Install centos in virtualbox
Not much to say other than that I gave the VM 12 gb disk and 1024 mb ram.
During installation I selected Install or Upgrade an existing system (option 1). I went with all the defaults during installation.
3. Basic setup
Following the installation I rebooted.
First I activated eth by editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and changing onboot from no to yes. I rebooted and installed Gnome
Then install X and gnome.
Edit /etc/inittab and change
Reboot.
Install openGL libraries. The way to do that depends on what graphics chip your have, e.g. libgl1-nvidia-glx for nvidia. In my virtualbox example I didn't have to do anything.
4. ECCE
Launch gnome-terminal
Become root and install packages, then exit:
Everything builds just fine.
You can then install the ecce_install.v7.0.csh file created in the parent directory by following e.g. this post: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/487-version-70-of-ecce-out-now.html

mkdir ~/tmpDownload ecce from http://ecce.pnl.gov/using/download.shtml into ~/tmp
cd ~/tmp
tar xvf ecce-v7.0-src.tar.bz2
cd ecce-v7.0/
export ECCE_HOME=`pwd`
cd build/
./build_ecce
./build_ecce
./build_ecce

This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
