Re: [Gmat-buildtest] GMAT Linux Question

[Darrel Conway]

I haven't used AMI (but may be soon if a project is funded), but from 
what I see online it looks like you should be good to go with the RHEL 
build.  If the GMAT R2017a RHEL build was working for you on the AMI 
platform, I'd expect the R2018a build to work as well.

If you haven't run R2017a there, be aware that when I say "it should 
work" I'm making a couple of assumptions:

 * AMI uses the same GCC libraries as RHEL.  If GCC is installed, you
   can check in a terminal by typing gcc --version.  The R2018a Red Hat
   build uses gcc 4.8.5.  You may have problems with an earlier version
   of GCC.  You're less likely to have issues if the version is higher,
   but there is a chance.
 * You are running the console version of GMAT, rather than the GUI
   version.  I'd expect both to work, but there are fewer library
   dependencies with the console version.

Worse case, GMAT is pretty straightforward to build on Linux, so if the 
prebuilt version doesn't work work for you, I can help get a local build 
made for you.

Steve,

I see one of the precompiled Linux versions was built and tested 
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2, whereas we use Linux AMI release 
2018.03 (which sounds like it has changed enough from its RH ancestry 
that it's considered it's own distro).  Does anyone on your team have 
any insight into what problems, if any, we could encounter installing 
R2018a on this type of system?

Thanks,

Russ

We are running neither.  We’re running off of AWS using Amazon Linux 
AMI release 2018.03 which I believe has roots in RHEL/CentOS.

Thanks Russ.  That explains it.

What flavor of linux do you use?  Red Hat or Ubuntu?

What version number?

Ryan,

Would you be able to check what Steve mentioned?

Steve,

I think you're thinking of Fermi.  Fermi will be using the Windows 
version.  On the NaaS orbit side, we use the Linux version.  On the 
NaaS maneuver side, we do use the Windows version, though.

Russ,

I thought someone said that you all use the Windows version.  Did I 
hear that wrong?

To determine which version you had, take a look at the following 
equivalent directory:

Do you have a “proprietary” folder?  If so, do you have these plugins?

Steve,

Currently we use the Linux version of GMAT 2017a.  I don’t know if 
that’s “internal” or “public”.  Were there two versions for 2017a?  If 
so, how would we be able to tell which we use?

Thanks,

Russ

Hi All,

Is the version you have now “internal” or “public?”

I think it makes sense to use R2018A. If you grab the internal 
version, you can’t distribute it further as it contains some 
proprietary plug-ins.   (Steve S, do you all use internal or public 
versions?)

In any event, the builds are located here:

\\mesa-file\595\GMAT\Releases\R2018a 
<file://mesa-file/595/GMAT/Releases/R2018a>

Go to “internal” or “public” folder as deemed appropriate.

The windows build is labelled “win.”

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve & Steve,

I know you're both out of the office right now.  But when you return, 
can you help one of our developers, Ryan (cc'd), obtain and install a 
new version of GMAT?  We plan to upgrade our version of GMAT as part 
of the NaaS release we're working on.  I had planned to have us 
upgrade to R2018a, but if you think I should consider a newer build 
for ACE & Wind, let me know.  You could change my mind.

Thanks,

Russ
