Linux clusters¶
Operating system packages¶
The following software should be installed by the system administrator:
C, C++ compilers
MPI
wget (default used by installer) or curl
Danger
The configure script will look for mpicc and mpicxx for building packages requiring MPI.
Do not set CC=mpicc or CXX=mpicxx as this can lead to packages assuming you are using an Intel compiler.
For example, the Python configure detects use of an Intel compiler by comparing $CC against the pattern *icc*.
Configure¶
We use 8 threads when building.
