zlib is a software library used for data compression. The system default version of the zlib libraries available on PMACS is vzlib-1.2.3-29. However, a lot of software packages require a newer version of zlib in order to successfully compile. zlib version 1.2.8 is available as an environment module.
Usage
[asrini@consign ~]$ bsub -Is bash [asrini@node061 ~]$ module load zlib-1.2.8-1 [asrini@node061 ~]$ $ module show zlib-1.2.8-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles/zlib-1.2.8-1: module-whatis zlib v1.2.8-1 prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/local/lib prepend-path LIBRARY_PATH /opt/local/lib prepend-path MANPATH /opt/local/share/man -------------------------------------------------------------------
Once this above module is loaded, it should be possible to install software packages that depend on this version of zlib.
