(I'm using x86_64, of course.) I preferred to use Fedora because I had little trouble getting it to hibernate, which might be important when using this software on a primitive computer. In the event of a power failure, although not frequent, the job would not be terminated by the event. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The only problem I had encountered with Fedora 26 was with openmpi. Fedora does not put it into the standard search path, but into /usr/lib64/openmpi/bin, which must be added.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I upgraded Fedora 26 to 27 in place, leaving the Cactus installation untouched. The only problem I had with it was that Fedora 27 removed /usr/lib64/libgsl.so.19, which I had to add after the upgrade was completed.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Then I attempted to install Cactus on a freshly-installed Fedora 27 installation. Things went well for a while, but eventually I encountered this:</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">COMPILING arrangements/McLachlan/ML_BSSN/src/RegisterSymmetries.cc</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">COMPILING arrangements/McLachlan/ML_BSSN/src/Startup.cc</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Creating /home/jontester/Cactus/configs/sim/lib/libthorn_ML_BSSN.a</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">make: *** [Makefile:260: sim] Error 2</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I would be interested to know why this occurred. For the present time it does not inconvenience me, but I'm sure the software will continue to evolve.
