Unless, instead, you only set environment variables CC=gcc or CC=gcc34. But sounds silly.

I think this make more sense if you have different MPI compilers, like, one mpicc (gcc34), other mpicc(gcc41), etc. Or different BLAS libraries, like libblas or libgoto etc. it is my problem...with mpicc for example. And I though I could solve it with a gcc44 module or a gcc41 module. For example I have gcc 4.4 installed, how can say to mpicc to use it ? Hi I suggest you to edit script, and replace gcc with CC[1]. Or put an alias at the beginning of the script: alias gcc=gcc34(?). For mpi, it's much easier because you set everything: CC=gcc34, PREFIX=/data/mpi/gcc34, etc. Then you build the other one, CC=gcc, PREFIX=/data/mpi/gcc41, etc. Now you build you modules. Probably in the FAQ or documentation of your MPI explains how to create your libraries, etc. There a few good tutorials about parallel computing and MPI, etc here: https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/parallel_comp/ https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/mpi/ Regards mg.

Hi
There is the main web site:

Or, maybe the best way, it's to start from the modules provided by
OSCAR, and change to your needs.
In my case, we use Bright (former ClusterVisionOS), the module files are
at /cm/shared/modulefiles. They are TCL scripts:
-sh-3.2$ pwd

CentOS and Scientific Linux together would be like dream come true. My 'dream' OS has always been one where the base install was extremely minimal - just enough to install the rest over the network. Then there would be a way that anyone could 'publish' their installed list of repositories and packages and anyone else could duplicate that machine's setup just by picking that list from a set of choices with the installer dealing with the hardware differences for you. This would eliminate most of the need for custom rebuilds and respins - at least for anyone with network access, and in my opinion the optimal combination of many thousands of packages is something that deserves to be be crowdsourced. But, so far no one has done it and whenever the discussion of modified CentOS respins comes up the developers have seemed pretty lukewarm to the idea, as though it would devalue their brand. Hi The idea of a minimal installation is interesting. Could this be done with a kickstart or a installation CD? Then you download/customize with yum groupinstall something.

[CentOS] [Fwd: Re: How to generate a .template and .jigdo from an iso image?]
Hi Ralph
I received this e-mail from Fedora Infrastructure list. My problem at
that moment was a proper syntax for the jigdo-file command.
Using the their script as reference, I made a simpler one to test the
command[1]. And it's working:
newt (Linux) $pwd; ls -l *.jigdo *.template
/users/newt2/mgarcia/iso/dvd
-rw-r--r-- 1 mgarcia slocate214226 May 13 13:44
CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.jigdo
-rw-r--r-- 1 mgarcia slocate 196853099 May 13 13:44
CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.template
newt (Linux) $
I copy all the files in CentOS directory of the image to the directory
/users/newt2/mgarcia/iso/os, so I could export as NFS.
I don't know if there is a better way to test, but what I did was to
create a centos.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d[2]. Then in the machine called
prost, issued the command:
[r...@prost ~]# jigdo-lite http://newt/centos/CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.jigdo

Hi
I read the man page. It says that I have to specify only one of the
options -i, -j or -t. OK. If I use only -i, my template has the
same size of image, then there is no point in using jigdo. There must be
something more.
My question is how Fedora generates the .template with only 11.1M? The
command jigdo-file -i CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.iso it's not enough.
Attached is the script Fedora Unity uses to jigdofy it's Re-Spins. Note
the function jigdofy() in the top that may just help you get the
syntax right.
Note the double slash in the two directories passed to the jigdo-file
make-template command, which functions as a delimiter for jigdo-file,
so that in the --label parameter, we can 'label' the path and then
attach a URI (--uri) to be used in the resulting .jigdo file instead.
$1 is the (fully qualified) path to the .iso image,
$2 is the base architecture for the .iso image (i386, x86_64 or ppc in
our case), and
${version} is the Fedora $releasever (9 or 10 right now).
Also note that /data/os/distr/fedora is a local, full mirror and that
/data/os/archive/fedora is a local, full archive (with package files
that have been removed from the mirror because for example they've
expired and have been superseeded by another update to said package).

[CentOS] how to get rid of kerberos
Hi How to get rid of kerberos, or at least to prevent to go into path? Where is defined the path for users? I need to configure and use rtools (I know that I should use ssh, but I need rtools) and I think very annoying the messages from Kerberized rsh or rlogin, like this: -sh-3.2$ rsh kitten02 connect to address 192.168.89.2 port 543: Connection refused Trying krb4 rlogin... connect to address 192.168.89.2 port 543: Connection refused trying normal rlogin (/usr/bin/rlogin) Last login: Tue Jun 3 20:17:32 from kitten01 -sh-3.2$ But if kerberos is not in path, everything works fine: -sh-3.2$ rsh kitten02 Last login: Tue Jun 3 20:13:13 from kitten01 -sh-3.2$ Thanks Marcelo ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] new list proposal

And that cant be further from the truth, really. We are all pro-community ( and when I say we, I mean everyone - including the contributors, developers, admins, users, abusers and hey upstream too ). However, one thing that does get in the way, often, and something that we all feel creates a higher 'noise' ratio is conversations on this list about semi-related stuff, but not something that directly contributes to the general users of CentOS. Conversations that specifically address four areas: - technologies - best practices - deployment strategies and tools - management strategies and tools And to better cater to these conversations, as well as further encourage such content, we'd like to propose creating a 'centos-tech' list. Over a period of time, we would like to see the CentOS list become a more user help and distro specific list, with generic conversations moving to the centos-tech list. Hi I understand the eagerness to lower the noise ratio, but I think creating another list is not the solution, it will simply create an extra work for the people in the list centos in the sense that you will have to keep reminding people to use the tech list, or saying to newcomers that should sign for the tech list. Noise is the side effect of the success of the project CentOS. As the project grows, more people will be joining the list, and there will be more noise. In my opinion there aren't much off-topic/noise in this list. Regards Marcelo ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
