STELLOPT Compilation on Centos

This page details how to compile the STELLOPT family of codes on CentOS. In order to do so you will need to install GNU based compilers on your Linux machine. In principle this set of steps should work for any Linux based distribution which uses the Redhat Package Manager (RPM) based package management.

Installation Steps

1. Verify that your version of CentOS is up to date.
2. Use yum to install your packages. For this example we're using gfortran 4.4 but you may substitute any other version.

yum install gcc*
yum install openmpi*
yum install lapack*

1. Now we need to install external packages. Pleas visit the Fedora page for the latest stable version of the EPEL.

wget http://mirrors.mit.edu/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum -assumeyes install netcdf*
yum install ncl*
yum install hdf5*

1. Before compiling you'll need to load openmpi

module load openmpi-x86_64

1. Now create a directory in which you wish to compile STELLOPT and place the STELLOPT ZIP file in that directory. Then unzip it.
2. You'll need to install the PSPLINE library so create a new directory call PSPLINE and download the PSPLINE tarball into it. Then run the following commands (note use gmake, make causes problems)

mkdir PSPLINE
cd PSPLINE
cp <PATH_TO_PSLINE>/pspline.tar.gz .
tar xvf pspline.tar.gz
gmake FORTRAN_VARIANT=GCC LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 NETCDF_DIR=/usr/

1. Unzip stellinstall
2. Now you should be able to run the setup script and compile the STELLOPT family of codes.
