[edit] Wish List for Local ATLAS Computing at TRIUMF

TRIUMF hosts Canada's Tier 1 Centre. The Tier 1 Centre is responsible for processing ATLAS data, and other high-level production tasks. Local TRIUMF ATLAS users wishing to do analysis run on their desktop machines or on the GRID, as do all ATLAS-Canada users. This is a little wish-list for "Tier 3" computing at TRIUMF, and is probably applicable to many other Canadian ATLAS institutes.

  • Cataloguing for Shared Storage
  • custom list of packages to install when installing SL on TRIUMF desktops for ATLAS ("Everything" is far too much, default is not enough...)
  • scripts for easy configuration of firewalls, amanda backups, ssh permissions, log monitoring, etc.

Add this somewhere later:

the gcc compiler does not find the fortran shared library lg2c. If you look in the /usr/lib/ directory, you can see that the library does not exist. > ll /usr/lib/libg2* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 30 10:36 /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0 -> libg2c.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 107064 Mar 23 2007 /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0.0.0

But it you look at lxplus (SL4 32 bit) they added a symbolic link...

[inugent@lxplus202]~% ll /usr/lib/libg2* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 22 15:54 /usr/lib/libg2c.so -> /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep 1 2008 /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0 -> libg2c.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 108752 Jul 29 2008 /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0.0.0 [inugent@lxplus202]~%

On the SL5 64 bit at they do not have the second symbolic link: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 22 15:54 /usr/lib/libg2c.so -> /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0

I added a symbolic link, the same as the SL4 32bit at CERN, and it now works. This is probably not the correct solution, but it works for now. Ian
