[yt-users] installing yt on Steele

[Agarwal, Shankar]

Hi Matt,

I got yt installed on Steele with wxpython=0 following your instructions. Two questions though. Towards the end, it asks you to...

PATH            => /home/ba01/u118/agarwa23/enzo1/src/yt/doc/yt-x86_64/bin/
PYTHONPATH      => /home/ba01/u118/agarwa23/enzo1/src/yt/doc/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH => /home/ba01/u118/agarwa23/enzo1/src/yt/doc/yt-x86_64/lib/



I have a .soft file. And I modified it like...

# Common TeraGrid Software Stack Version 3 (CTSSv3)
#
# Please consult TeraGrid user documentation at
#    http://www.teragrid.org/userinfo/software/softenv.php
# for information on customizing this file.
#

PATH +=                        /home/ba01/u118/agarwa23/enzo1/src/yt/doc/yt-x86_64/bin
PYTHONPATH +=         /home/ba01/u118/agarwa23/enzo1/src/yt/doc/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.6/site-packages
LD_LIBRARY_PATH += /home/ba01/u118/agarwa23/enzo1/src/yt/doc/yt-x86_64/lib

# TeraGrid wide basic software suite
@teragrid-basic

# TeraGrid wide Globus 4 and Grid software suite
@globus-4.0

# Platform recommended development software suite
@teragrid-dev



Then, I did ...

[agarwa23 at tg-steele ~]$ echo $PATH

[agarwa23 at tg-steele ~]$ echo $PYTHONPATH
/home/ba01/u118/agarwa23/enzo1/src/yt/doc/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.6/site-packages

[agarwa23 at tg-steele ~]$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/ba01/u118/agarwa23/enzo1/src/yt/doc/yt-x86_64/lib:/tg/globus-4.0.8-r2/lib:/opt/condor/lib:/tg/srb-client-3.4.1-r1/lib:/tg/globus-4.0.1-r3.radon/lib

Does it matter whether yt part is appended or prepended or somewhere in the middle ?


Question 2:
I tried to install yt again, with wxpython=1 and got this error...

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
The development files for GTK+ were not found. For GTK+ 2, please
ensure that pkg-config is in the path and that gtk+-2.0.pc is
installed. For GTK+ 1.2 please check that gtk-config is in the path,
and that the version is 1.2.3 or above. Also check that the
libraries returned by 'pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs' or 'gtk-config
--libs' are in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent.


I was told by NCSA that wxpython=1 is needed for X-forwarding. Is that true ? Or I can just go back to wxpython=0 and install.
