Building Dakota on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
From CSDMS
The developers of Dakota provide binary distributions for Mac OS X and the CentOS (RHEL-compatible) Linux distribution. They don't, however, provide a binary for the Ubuntu (Debian-compatible) Linux distribution, requesting that users compile Dakota from source. This is a long and moderately difficult task, so it may be out of reach for many Dakota users who prefer to use Ubuntu. Additionally, the Travis CI web service that CSDMS uses for integration testing runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, so for us to test our software with Dakota, it would be convenient to have a pre-built binary that can be easily accessed by Travis.
