These systems may be computational clusters which were built several years ago and haven't had major updates since, so the default compilers on these systems are often old (e.g. gcc 4.4 or even 4.1). Getting the administrators to install an updated compiler may or may not be feasible. So as a backup, I'm looking into the possibility of having our users (who may have very limited *nix experience) install an updated compiler in their home directory. (Again, on a machine where they don't have administrator access.)<br><br></div><div>Is there an easy way to install Clang in a user directory when the system version of the compiler tool-chain may be very out of date? I noticed the pre-built binaries on <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/download.html" target="_blank">http://llvm.org/releases/download.html</a>, but there's not much instruction on how to use these, and I'm a little unclear how "self-contained" these are and if they include the libc++ library.
