Hi Fotis, Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize that there were premade eb files like those. I am using those now. Still having issues with it, but I will get to those later. As for the 4.7.3.1, that was just what eb did because I already had another one in that directory that was 4.7.3.0 and 4.7.3, and by the time I went there and looked at it, I had 4.7.3.2 and 4.7.3.3. You can see how many times I failed I guess. :)
I am now just trying to install eb on the network in hopes to solve some path issues. As a side note, when I used "EASYBUILD_BUILDPATH=/tmp time eb OpenMPI-1.7.3-GCC-4.8.2.eb --try-toochain=GCC,4.7.3 --try-software-version=1.7.4", it just complained that "EASYBUILD_BUILDPATH=/tmp: Command not found." Once again, thanks for all the help. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Fotis Georgatos [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 07, 2014 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [easybuild] GCC Hi, On Mar 7, 2014, at 9:51 PM, Fotis Georgatos wrote: > EASYBUILD_BUILDPATH=/tmp time eb OpenMPI-1.7.3-GCC-4.8.2.eb > --try-toochain=GCC,4.7.3 --try-software-version=1.7.4 actually, to be more precise, I also have a tendency to employ /dev/shm: > EASYBUILD_BUILDPATH=/dev/shm when there, that speeds up the builds considerably, but has a tendency to make things that do not have 'parallel=1' to break more often (or, that's my anecdotal experience report) Fotis -- echo "sysadmin know better bash than english" | sed s/min/mins/ \ | sed 's/better bash/bash better/' # Yelling in a CERN forum
