Re: Installing and using pkgsrc with external compiler (in HPC environment) ... library path troubles.

[Jason Bacon <jwbacon%tds.net@localhost>]

I use pkgsrc extensively for HPC and developed a script for 
automatically bootstrapping multiple trees on the same system.  This 
way, I can sunset an entire tree when it's packages start getting out of 
date while gradually migrating users to a newer tree.  It's well tested 
on CentOS and OS X and the latest stable version is always available 
here: http://acadix.biz/software.php

I have used it with external compilers on RHEL.  The only requirement is 
that the same compiler is first in your PATH during bootstrap and 
package building.

Note: I don't recommend using an external compiler on OS X at this time. 
 A lot of software has upstream bugs, assuming Xcode extensions and 
quirks based on `uname`.  The pkgsrc base made the same assumption until 
recently, but even since eliminating that, I've run into too many issues 
to justify the benefit, so I stick with Xcode and pre-built gfortran 
packages, which the script will install automatically.

Regards,

        Jason
