The default option list for Ranger is now ranger-intel11.cfg. This builds GSL with Cactus, using GSL 1.14. The old option list (ranger-mvapich2.cfg) still uses GSL 1.11.
I am using the new option list. If you are still using the old option list and have tested GSL 1.13, then please send a patch.

Thanks for letting us know of the new default. I will move to this new configuration file and will let you know if we face any problem.
Thanks.

Comment (by bmundim):
I forgot to ask: which thorn(s) use this new env variables defined at ranger-intel11.cfg?
VECTORISE = yes VECTORISE_ALIGNED_ARRAYS = yes
I see that ./CarpetLib/src/gdata.cc uses VECTORISE_ALIGNED_ARRAYS as a macro, but I am not sure which one uses VECTORISE. Is this documented somewhere?
Also do these new variables mean we can drop -DKRANC_VECTORS in the CPPFLAGS?
Thanks!

Comment (by eschnett):
The new defaults are chosen by the new ranger.ini file. I now realise that people won't pick up these changes unless they create a new configuration. That adds to the recent discussion on the SimFactory mailing list...
The new settings VECTORISE etc. are used by a new version of LSUThorns/Vectors. Ian Hinder suggested this to improve the interface. We are currently working on incorporating vectorisation into Kranc (and thus McLachlan); after this is done I will update LSUThorns/Vectors. You can then drop the -DKRANC_VECTORS in CPPFLAGS.

Comment (by hinder):
Either we should delete the old ranger-mvapich2.cfg optionlist, or we should apply Bruno's patch.
Bruno, since the old file is still there, can you attach your patch to this ticket? Thanks

Comment (by eschnett):
We should not delete this thorn list yet since it still works, and most people will not have switched over to the new one.
