STELLOPT Compilation at the MPCDF

This page details how to compile the STELLOPT family of codes at Max-Plank Computational Data Facility (formerly Rechenzentrum Garching) (MPCDF). In order to do so you will need an account on their system. These build instructions are for the Intel based compilers

General Notes

The Raven and Viper clusters are automatically detected by the make.inc script. The IPP-HGW theory cluster requires the user to set the environment variable MACHINE equal to ‘theoryhgw’.

There is an issue with Anaconda where it links against it’s own libraries which are not the same as the system libraries. This doesn’t affect the Fortran parts of the code. The C-Types interface we use in Python to access routines in libstell.so is affected. The knock-on effect is that the benchmarks will fail with error messages about libssh.so. The fix is for the user to add export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1:/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1 to your .bashrc (or equivalent). This is an Anaconda/MPCDF issue, not realated to STELLOPT directly.
