Installation Instructions

  1. Ensure that system environment variable PATH includes the location of all the compilers mentioned above.

  2. Download the source code of ICU version 4.2 for C from http://site.icu-project.org/download.

  3. At the shell prompt, execute the following commands:

    gunzip -d < icu4c-3_6-src.tgz | tar -xf -
cd icu/source/
chmod +x runConfigureICU configure install-sh
./runConfigureICU Linux --disable-renaming --disable-threads --with-library-bits=64
gmake
gmake check
gmake install

  4. Set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the location of ICU. Linux uses the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to search for dynamically linked libraries to be loaded.

This installs ICU in the /usr/local directory.

[Note]

By default, ICU is installed in the /usr/local directory. To install ICU in a different directory, use --prefix=<install_path> with the runConfigureICU command.
