-1. Install the 32-bit `libc` with one of the following system-specific
commands:
-
- ```bash
- sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 # In Ubuntu
- sudo yum install glibc-devel.i686 # In RHEL (Red Hat Linux)
- sudo yum install glibc-devel.i386 # In CentOS 5.8
- sudo yum install glibc-devel.i686 # In CentOS 6/7
- ```
-
-2. Download and extract the `gcc` source code with the prerequisites:
+#### BLAS library
- ```bash
- wget http://mirrors.concertpass.com/gcc/releases/gcc-4.8.5/gcc-4.8.5.tar.gz
- tar -zxf gcc-4.8.5.tar.gz
- cd gcc-4.8.5
- ./contrib/download_prerequisites
- ```
