llvm dev - Aug 2008 - [LLVMdev] Which linux distribution required the least effort to install LLVM 2.3?

Hi!
I'm a new LLVM user.

I want to start using the LLVM System v2.3.  However, I don't want to spend
all my time hunting, pecking, downgrading, and/or upgrading packages to get
LLVM v2.3 running.  I was wondering which Linux distrubutions(FC7, Ubuntu,
NetBSD, etc) have required the least effort out of the box to start running
LLVM v2.3.

tia,
Bernardo Elayda

FC8 worked straight away for me, though I needed to tweak the llvm-gcc 
flags a bit since I'm on x86_64.

I'm running LLVM from SVN on Ubuntu Hardy (both i386 and x86_64) without
problems.

Cheers,

openSUSE 10.3 over here (both x86-32 and -64), LLVM compiles out of the 
box. (Needs Cyrille Berger's patch to enable putting LLVM into a shared 
library, though; this might be in svn in the meantime, I haven't checked.)

There's an LLVM RPM for various openSUSE versions including the latest 
(11.0) available from Packman (right now still at LLVM 2.2, but I guess 
that the package maintainer, Toni Graffy, will soon update it to 2.3). 
See http://packman.links2linux.de/package/llvm

The .debs from Debian Experimental work also on Ubuntu 8.04.
You can download them from here:
