[klee-dev] Difficulty installing KLEE

Hi All,

Having used and enjoyed earlier versions of KLEE, I recently decided to
install this latest version of KLEE after a long time.

I ran into many unexpected problems, all due to dependencies. (The KLEE and
STP codes themselves seem to compile without any issues whatsoever.)

I believe that I am not alone in my experience. I think if the KLEE team is
able to address these installation issues, then a much broader set of users
may be willing to experiment with KLEE. You never know which previously
unanticipated applications users may use KLEE for, if only they could get
beyond the installation pain.

Here are some suggestions to alleviate installation issues:

Packaged Virtual Machine with KLEE
--------------------------------------------------

* Is it possible to release a Linux VirtualBox or VMWare virtual machines
with KLEE built in? This can be particularly useful for class projects, and
get troves of new users hooked on KLEE. It can also be great for
reproducibility of published results.

sudo apt-get install klee. Anyone?
--------------------------------------------

* I know that STP is released natively with some version of OpenBSD and
Fedora. Something similar can be done for KLEE by creating a Personal
Package Archive (PPA) on Ubuntu. Here are some pointers:
