Hello there, I was considering using this spin as a reference for a tutorial I am planning, as it contains everything I needed, including compilers/OpenMPI/Cmake/ATLAS etc. I was thinking of either using a USB key with the spin and a persistent home space, or the spin installed in a virtual machine; this would be a solution for all those attendants who might not want to disrupt their normal working environment to make sure having the necessary releases of various software, before having actually taken the course. I was therefore quite surprised when testing the live image I discovered that openmpi/atlas/blas come *without* the -devel packages, and are therefore unusable for compiling new codes (including student exercises). This looks a bit strange, since a user of this spin is exceedingly likely to do his/her own development. So, what are the best options for my situation? 1. Is there any chance to include the devel packages in the spin? 2. Should I prepare a customized derived spin? (I'd really prefer to stick to the "official" one though ....) Thanks a lot for any suggestions Salvatore _______________________________________________ scitech mailing list scitech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/scitech
