Here is some information I learned when installing StarCluster
for the first time. I am posting it here to benefit any other new
users who aren't able to find help for these problems.
I am running Fedora 16 and installing StarCluster-0.93.3 using
the instructions on
http://web.mit.edu/star/cluster/docs/latest/installation.html
% sudo yum install gmp-devel
...
warning: GMP or MPIR library not found; Not building
Crypto.PublicKey._fastmath.
This is solved with
% sudo python setup.py install
Then, the following error shows up:
Processing pycrypto-2.6.tar.gz
Running pycrypto-2.6/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir
/tmp/easy_install-BtQN0_/pycrypto-2.6/egg-dist-tmp-Mghnk3
src/_fastmath.c:31:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or
directory
compilation terminated.
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with
exit status 1
And this can be solved with
% sudo yum install python-devel
These packages are not standard Fedora, and I haven't ever needed
them despite developing scientific software for over a decade.
