Question

How do I specifically install CGAL lib 4.5.1 ?
Does sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev help?
I am using Ubuntu 14.04.I previously had CGAL 4.6.1 (which I removed) but I need CGAL 4.5.1.

Accepted Answer

To use version 4.5.1 in Trusty you have to compile it yourself

Install some development libraries

sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev
sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev

Install a helper tool to create and install a deb package later
```
sudo apt-get install checkinstall
```

Download and extract the source code

mkdir -p ~/src
cd ~/src
wget 
tar xf CGAL-4.5.1.tar.gz

Build via
```
cd CGAL-4.5.1
cmake .
make
```
Install
```
sudo checkinstall
```
