Installed on Kathleen.

Needs GPUs so Myriad only.

They provide both source code and binaries for CentOS-7.4 which may work on Myriad. I will experiment with both to find out.

The binary distribution assume you have particular versions of HDF5, NetCDF and libtiff installed and is not statically linked.

I'm going to do a test build in my Scratch to see if I can get a working set of modules for the above.

So these are the external package options wheN configuring the build: ``` Optional Packages: --with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes] --without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no) --with-pic[=PKGS] try to use...

Starting with these modules: ``` module -f unload compilers mpi module load compilers/gnu/4.9.2 module load hdf/5-1.8.15/gnu-4.9.2 module load udunits/2.2.26/gnu-4.9.2 module load netcdf/4.3.3.1/gnu-4.9.2 ```

So GrADS needs an external libgeotiff eg from here: https://github.com/OSGeo/libgeotiff/releases/download/1.7.1/libgeotiff-1.7.1.tar.gz which itself depends on PROJ4.

There are other dependencies we don't have - GADAP, shapelib are just two of them. Good news GrADS is in Spack: ``` spack info --all grads AutotoolsPackage: grads Description: The...
