[yt-users] yt on Kraken

Brian & Matt,

Matt is right that readline and all the various 'failed.a' libs aren't required 
for batch jobs. However, when Brian emailed the list I was still in the middle 
of getting things to work again (h5py had stopped working due to something I did 
somewhere along the line). So even though Brian's warning was a red herring, it 
would have not worked for him at all.

As far as I can tell, yt & h5py should be working again. In order to use the 
common install, this should be sufficient:

PATH = /lustre/scratch/proj/yt_common/trunk/bin/:$PATH
PYTHONPATH = /lustre/scratch/proj/yt_common/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
MPLCONFIGDIR = /lustre/scratch/USERNAME/.matplotlib/

Let me know if something doesn't work!
