Thanks for adding that info andradx. Other than temporarily setting that LD_LIBRARY_PATH, everything seems to run and behave as expected for me on my CentOS 6.4 x86_64 machine.

There is just one thing last thing I'd add. For a production workstation you really need the minimum 24 GB of RAM. At least I tried several full compilations on 12GB RAM+ 12GB Swap and sometimes the compilation flow crashed unexpectedly. However, we took care of that when we moved to a 32GB RAM + 32GB Swap.

For running the application itself it doesn't really matter, does it?
