Trilinos on the mac

My configuration script for Trilinos on Mac OS X 10.5.5, for building without MPI:

./configure \
--cache-file=config.cache \
--prefix=/usr/local/trilinos-8.0.8-serial \
CC=/usr/bin/gcc CXX=/usr/bin/g++ F77=/usr/local/bin/gfortran \
--with-libs="-framework vecLib" \
--with-ldflags="-Wl,-multiply_defined -Wl,suppress" \
--enable-amesos \
--enable-epetra \
--enable-anasazi \
--enable-aztecoo \
--enable-examples \
--enable-didasko \
--enable-teuchos \
--enable-triutils \
--enable-galeri

I believe that the only software needed to get this to work is the gfortran compiler available at the mac High Performance Computing site.

I found that the with-ldflags line was necessary because otherwise the "pow" check would die from "Undefined symbols: "___gxx_personality_v0", referenced from: __gxx_personality_v0$non_lazy_ptr in ccJ9fzb2.o".

To get a trilinos-base program to compile, run g++ with the Apple compiler with options "-framework vecLib -I/usr/local/trilinos-8.0.8-serial/include -L/usr/local/trilinos-8.0.8-serial/" with the libraries (e.g. "-lepetra").

Word movement in terminal

This is a handy tip that I've wanted to do for months (since by default, on UNIX machines ctrl-left and ctrl-right move between words, but the mac terminal didn't).

Also, this inputrc modification (which makes the up arrow complete to the last occurrence of everything before the cursor) is even better than ctrl-r reverse search.
