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.
