[klee-dev] Difficulty installing KLEE

Thanks for your suggestions, Vijay.  Releasing KLEE as a package would 
be nice, but the main issue is the dependency on an old version of LLVM 
(2.9 currently).  We could easily create a VM, but the issues here are 
(1) space, as David pointed out and (2) someone would also need to set 
up a way to update it regularly.  BTW, we do have a CDE package 
available for download (did you try it?), but it is currently quite 
outdated.

Dominic Chen has created some scripts that generate binary versions of 
KLEE.  However, there are still issues linking various libraries.  If 
anyone would like to take a look, the scripts are part of klee-buildbot 
(https://github.com/ccadar/klee-buildbot).

On a different note, don't worry about DirConsistency.c and DirSeek.c, 
these are fragile tests that indeed can fail.  I will change them to 
XFAIL (Expected to fail) shortly.

Best,
Cristian
