[yt-users] Install yt on Eureka.alcf.anl.gov

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Min,

Brad G had a similar problem on Eureka.  The problem is that the
crypto libraries (specifically libcrypto.a) are not -fPIC compiled.
(If hg didn't throw an error, soemthing else would have!)  This causes
building _hashlib and _ssl to fail in Python.  The solution, if I
remember correctly, was to set the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables toward
the top of install_script.sh to point to a different libcrypto,
preferentially a shared library (.so).  Then to force yt to rebuild
Python, remove yt-x86_64/src/Python-2.7.2/done and re-run the install
script.  Unfortunately I don't have access to Eureka or the path to
the right libcrypto at the tip of my fingers, but I think it was
somewhere relatively straightforward.  Maybe "locate libcrypto.so"
will find it.

Let me know if that helps,

Matt
