#2837: Building the Einstein Toolkit
Reporter: Suo-Ning Wang
Status: open
Milestone:
Version: development version
Type: bug
Priority: major
Component: EinsteinToolkit website
Comment (by Roland Haas):
I played around with OpenSuSE a bit over the break. Turns out that it sets `CONFIG_SITE` and that causes problems in the release branch of the Einstein Toolkit \(will be fixed in development soon\).
For now the workaround is to add:
```
unset CONFIG_SITE
```
before you compile. See the OpenSuSE section of the prerequisites section of [https://github.com/einsteintoolkit/jupyter-et/blob/master/tutorial-server/n…

On macOS using macports the automated fallback has issues finding libsz on macports, so this supplements guessed information with h5cc info if available.

#1878: hdf5 deflate fragments memory
Reporter: Frank Löffler
Status: new
Milestone:
Version: development version
Type: enhancement
Priority: minor
Component: Other
Comment (by Roland Haas):
Since the issue is caused by code in libhdf5 there is not much we can actually do about this. Even patching `H5Z_filter_deflate` in the tar file included in ExternalLibraries/HDF5 won’t fix the issue on most clusters since on most clusters we use the system installed HDF5 library. Looking at the API call [https://support.hdfgroup.org/documentation/hdf5/latest/group\_\_\_d\_c\_p\_… there is no option to specify the initial buffer size.
A patch for the self-build library is in `rhaas/deflate` of [https://github.com/einsteinToolkit/ExternalLibraries-hdf5](https://github.c… for all the good it might do. The 32bit size field in gzip files is no longer considered authorative \(fails to record uncompressed file sizes >2GB\).
I’d suggest to close this as “wontfix” since there is nothing that we can really do about this.
