Hi John, I was planning on building an R for gimkl, since I experienced problems with R with OpenBLAS.
For this purpose, I submitted a few PRs of the dependencies, UDUNITS, ICU, PROJ. I took the opportunity to move them down the hierarchy, so, please build on top of those: https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/8108 https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/8109 https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/8110 I wanted to make sure to put as much as possible in as "low" level as possible, as I wanted to build a gimkl version of R. ------- I got a libgeotiff @ GCCcore as well, but I had asked the developer if version 1.5.1 was stable and he alerted me that the whole GDAL + PROJ + GEOS + libgeotiff is still not vetted to work together with proj 6.0.0. So a downgrade might be necessary here. Reference: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geotiff/2019-March/000861.html https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geotiff/2019-March/000862.html ------- So NLopt is still missing. I was looking at NLopt, which had been moved down to GCCcore. By it's description, it sounds like a software that might benefit from iccifort, so perhaps it should be at GCC+iccifort level instead? I'm not sure if icc offers a compelling performance benefit or not here, or if NLopt is consuming enough core-hours for us to care. There is a lot of R extensions already. And, rgdal brings out a lot of dependencies. No users at our clusters are the least bit interested in this extension. Can't we have a separate module for this extension? This would avoid the whole GDAL+PROJ mess, perhaps delay it until they have sorted out the support (GDAL 2.5.0 (currently in RC) should support it, as far as I can tell).
