Hi Chris,

I've updated the gcc, and can run the code, but when I try to recompile the g4detectors library I get the following error:

/bin/grep: /afs/rhic.bnl.gov/sphenix/sys/x8664_sl6/new.1/lib/libgsl.la: No such file or directory

/bin/sed: can't read /afs/rhic.bnl.gov/sphenix/sys/x8664_sl6/new.1/lib/libgsl.la: No such file or directory

lib tool: link: `/afs/rhic.bnl.gov/sphenix/sys/x8664_sl6/new.1/lib/libgsl.la' is not a valid libtool archive

I expect that there is somewhere in the code base with an explicit link dependence through to afs which isn't available in remote systems instead of linking through to /opt/sphenix.

Any ideas on how to best chase that down?

Mike

Hello Mike,

it is based on the redhat developer toolsets. The dev toolset does work but the binaries don't run on our farm (in my understanding). The rpms to install the tweaked rcf version are available in afs (you need a token, it's not readable without like our afs space):

/afs/rhic.bnl.gov/rcfsl/6.4/rcf-custom/gcc-4.8.2

Hello Chris,

For those of us---aka me---using non-RCF resources, is this just a matter of installing stock version of gcc 4.8.2? Or are the custom hacks documented for us to follow?

Hi folks,

the nightly build using gcc 4.8 and Geant4 10.02 is working. I would
like to switch to this as soon as possible so we can start to use C++11.
I reran the Atlanta hcal fest single particle sims  (1d/2d spacal and
zero tilt angle neutrons), the output is under:

/gpfs02/phenix/prod/sPHENIX/gcc4.8/single_particle/(spacal1d,spacal2d,hcalstudies/0cross)/fieldmap

To analyze those files you need to use the play build

source /opt/sphenix/core/bin/sphenix_setup.csh -n play

If you want to use gcc 4.8 to compile your code you have to tweak the
path (will be part of the setup script once we switch):

set path = (/opt/gcc/4.8.2/bin $path)

But you don't have to Chris Hollowell from rcf tweaked the gcc 4.8
installation that this can run together with our standard compiler.

Please have a look at this at your earliest convenience

Chris
