Need Linux version of MARK

Postby torbjore » Tue May 28, 2013 2:05 am

We want to run MARK on a super-computer using Linux (64 bit CentOS 6). We will use RMark so we don't want the GUI. The link to Linux version on the local download-page is broken: http://www.phidot.org/software/mark/rmark/linux

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Torbjørn and Morten

Not broken - taken offline, since the version that had been compiled was very out of date. Several points:

1\ no existing Linux version compiled against new (current) source code currently available

2\ CentOS is somewhat problematic, since while it is *very* stable (great server platform), it does not support latest GFortran which Gary is using to compile MARK (great as a server, no-so-great as a dev platform). As such, some/many of the shared libs any new version might need might not be available on CentOS (meaning, I could compile it under - say - Ubuntu, or Mint, but I'm not sure it would run under CentOS). (In fact, this is one reason there has been a delay in getting a new Linux version compiled).

3\ plan is to rebuild a couple of Linux machines over the summer, and do a series of virtual installs of different distros (including CentOS) to see if we can get things working. This will not be happening before mid-July at the earliest, however.

4\ I could give you the old compiled binary for Linux - but it doesn't support mult-threaded execution (and may not even be compatible with current RMark), so might be of limited utility.
