Elegant users forum

Hi,

I just installed SDDS and elegant on the CORI system on NERSC. I haven't seen messages about installing on NERSC, so I thought it was worth mentioning what I did. I can give the full procedure if anyone is interested. Among other things, I had to remove the special
ifeq (cori, $(findstring cori, $(HOSTNAME)))
parts of several Makefiles to get it to compile. I used the PrgEnv-intel module, was I supposed to use the PrgEnv-gnu module instead?
Everything seems to work okay except for sddsbrightness, which failed to build giving the error
sddsurgent.c:322: multiple definition of `main'
Maybe that is also related to using the intel compilers. But I don't think at the ALS we will be using those functions.

Also, the NERSC computers and LBL's LRC cluster all use $GSL_DIR as the environment variable for the path to the GSL installation.
In the Makefiles where SYSGSL is defined, it would simplify things to add the lines

$(GSL_DIR)/lib/libgsl.a \
$(GSL_DIR)/lib/libgsl.so \

to the list of places to look for the GSL libraries. If the ANL system uses a different environment variable, that would be just as good.

Thanks,
Gregg

Glad you got it to work. Last time I built it on cori I was using PrgEnv-gnu which probably accounts for the differences. I have found some notes with instructions but I no longer have an active account there.
