This page provides a quick overview of the install process for LAM/MPI
7.1.4. Complete installation instructions are now
provided in the LAM/MPI
Installation Guide. The Installation Guide is also available in
the doc/ directory of the LAM/MPI tarball. While not
directly related to installation, there is also a User's Guide
available. We recommend that all system administrators refer their
users to this guide to get the most out of LAM/MPI.
If you don't want to read the Installation Guide, the following
should build a minimal installation of LAM/MPI in most situations
(note that some options will be disabled, particularly if supporting
libraries are installed in non-default locations, such as Myrinet,
BProc, Globus, PBS, etc.).
shell$ gunzip -c lam-7.1.4.tar.gz | tar xf -
shell$ cd lam-7.1.4
# Set the desired C, C++, and Fortran compilers, unless
# using the GNU compilers is sufficient
# (this example assumes a Bourne-like shell)
shell$ CC=cc
shell$ CXX=CC
shell$ FC=f77
shell$ export CC CXX FC
shell$ ./configure --prefix=/directory/to/install/in
# ...lots of output...]
shell$ make
# ...lots of output...]
shell$ make install
# ...lots of output...]
# This step is optional
shell$ make examples
# ...lots of output...]
If you do not specify a prefix, LAM will first look for
lamclean in your path. If lamclean is found, it will use
the parent of the directory where lamclean is located as the prefix.
Otherwise, /usr/local is used (like most GNU software).
