OTHER SOFTWARE CREDITS
We originally included a modified implementation of some of the
Sparker (serial sparse BLAS) material; this has been completely
rewritten, way beyond the intention(s) and responsibilities of the
original developers.

4. If you have the AMD package of Davis, Duff and Amestoy, you can
specify --with-amd (see ./configure --help for more details).
The configure script will generate a Make.inc file suitable for
building the library.
The script is capable of recognizing the needed libraries with their
default names; if they are in unusual places consider adding the paths
with --with-libs, or explicitly specifying the names in --with-blas, etc.
Please note that a common way for the configure script to fail is to
specify inconsistent MPI vs. plain compilers, either directly or
indirectly via environment variables; e.g. specifying the Intel
compiler with FC=ifort while at the same time having an MPIFC=mpif90
which points to GNU Fortran.
The best way to avoid this situation is (in our opinion) to use the
environment modules package (see http://modules.sourceforge.net/), and
load the relevant variables with (e.g.)
module load gnu46 openmpi
This will delegate to the modules setup to make sure that the version
of openmpi in use is the one compiled with the gnu46 compilers.
After the configure script has completed you can always tweak the
Make.inc file yourself.

After you have Make.inc fixed, run
make
to compile the library; go to the test directory and its
subdirectories to get test programs done.
If you specify --prefix=/path you can do make install and the
libraries will be installed under /path/lib, while the module files
will be installed under /path/include.

SERIAL
Configuring with --enable-serial will provide a fake MPI stub library
that enables running in pure serial mode; no MPI installation is
needed in this case (but note that the fake MPI stubs are only
guaranteed to cover what we use internally, it's not a complete
replacement).

LONG INTEGERS
We have an experimental flag --enable-long-integers that will enable having
8-byte integer data, allowing an index space larger than 2G; some
small cases have been tested but we do not offer full guarantee (yet).
