Here is a short experience report for the installation on Ubuntu 12.04.4: - The URL where GMP can be downloaded has changed since the last release. Change 'wget ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/${GMP}/${GMP}.tar.gz' to 'wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/${GMP}.tar.gz' in install-gcc.sh - Install gcc-multilib by typing: 'sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib' (as pointed out by 稻草人) before running install-gcc.sh to prevent the error "fatal error: bits/predefs.h: No such file or directory" - Add the option --enable-languages=c,c++ to the call of ./configure in the second-to-last line in install-gcc.sh. This makes the installation of gcc more 'lightweight' (it does not build the Java,Frotran,Ada,... parts) and reduces the risks of compilation problems. - With new ocaml-compilers you may have difficulties executing install-cil.sh (error message: "the extension of the output file must be .o or .so") This problem can be circumvented by downloading the newest version of CREST: - svn checkout http://crest.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ crest-read-only - change to the directory 'cil' - ./configure - make - copy the content of the 'cil'-directory into $FORENSICTP/cil_crest-1.3.6/ You can ignore this part if you are not going to use the symbolic back-end with concolic execution.
