Installing libRETS on Ubuntu 14.04

install_librets

# Installing librets in Ubuntu 14.04 can actually be fairly painless.  Took me half an hour.
# I followed the instructions found at https://gist.github.com/sarkis/4472012 and made some modifications to keep it current.

cd ~/; mkdir src; cd src # or go to whatever folder you want to build source from
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev libcurl3-dev libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev antlr antlr3 libantlr-dev swig libboost-program-options-dev python-dev
git clone https://github.com/NationalAssociationOfRealtors/libRETS
cd libRETS
rbenv local 1.8.7-p371 # or whatever version you want to use
./autogen
./configure
make
sudo make install

# Afterward, if you want to get librets working for different ruby patchlevels you can just symlink librets_native.so:

cd ~/.rbenv/versions/1.8.7-p375/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
ln -s /home/martron/.rbenv/versions/1.8.7-p371/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/librets_native.so ./

# To test, just open irb:

require 'librets_native'
