Most of what follows in this software section is obsolete and is currently (Feb. 08) being updated

• gcc compiler version

  All libraries of major software packages are compiled with the standard Scientific Linux gcc 3.2.3 compiler. Please use the following commands in your batch scipts if you have batch jobs using different compiler versions:

  # for gcc 3.2.3 (compiled with Scientific Linux 3)
  module purge
  module load cern/2004-sl3 shift/1.7.1.5-sl3 clhep/1.8.2.1-sl3 dcache root/4.04 mysql/4-sl3
  

  If you use only one compiler version you can put the corresponding module load commands in your .bashrc/.tcshrc files.

• Phast

  Phast can be installed and run without problems:

  tar zxvf /grid/fzk.de/compass/software/phast_releases/Phast.tar.gz.7.018
  cd phast.7.018
  make
  
  ./phast -u 0 -h hist.root -N 1000 -c /tmp \
   /grid/fzk.de/mounts/nfs/data/compass2/data/mDST/2003/P1I/mDST-31700-*.root
  

  Please use the -c /tmp option, which copies the input file to the local disk and improves I/O performance. In addition it is required to use an additional option for job submission: qsub -l max_test_run=1

• Coral

  For coral see example configure (not fully tested):

  ./configure --with-CFLAGS="-O2 -DNDEBUG" \
  --without-Objectivity \
  --without-ORACLE \
  --with-CLHEP=$CLHEP_DIR \
  --with-CERN_LIBRARY=$CERN_ROOT \
  --with-RFIO=$RFIO \
  --with-MySQL=$DIR_MySQL \
  --with-LHCXX=$CLHEP_DIR --no-recursion \
  --with-COMPASS_Date=/grid/fzk.de/compass/software/date/dateV371_slc3
  

  A precompiled coral is installed and can be used by the following commands:

  export CORAL_LOCATION=/grid/fzk.de/compass/software/coral/prod-311003/coral
  # . $CORAL_LOCATION/setup.sh
  export CORAL=$CORAL_LOCATION
  mkdir -p coral/src/user
  cd coral/src/user
  cp -r $CORAL_LOCATION/src/user/* .
  # modify eventualy main.cc (and CoralUser.cc) to add your own stuff
  make
  #Linux/myprogram "option-file"
  

  You can access the CVS repository at cern with these commands:

  export CVSROOT=:ext:<your user name>@isscvs.cern.ch:/local/reps/coral
  export CVS_RSH=ssh
  

  This requires the following ssh config file (just cut an paste the 4 lines to the bash shell):

  cat > ~/.ssh/config <<EOF
  Host *.cern.ch
  Port 22
  EOF
  

  To access the local copy of the mysql database add the lines to the coral options file:

  CDB use MySQLDB
  CDB server compass.gridka.de // located at GridKA (internal network)
  CDB specialplace GRIDKA // location of calibrationfiles at GridKA
  

• comgeant

  Monte Carlo has been run by Colin Bernet, Alexandre Korzenev, Roland Kuhn and Vadim Alexakhine. Some work is still required to put general files (field maps etc.) into standard places. You can find some in /grid/fzk.de/compass/software/comgeant/0-0-7.00
