1 === Install !CitcomS ===
2 '''Q: What are the dependencies of !CitcomS-2.2 or later?'''
3
4 !CitcomS-2.2 or later depends on the MPI library. In addition, if you like to use the Pyre framework (which provides an ease-of-use environment), you will need Python 2.3 or newer. (Note that if your machine is 64-bit, you will need Python 2.4.)
5
6 '''Q: I want to use !CitcomS in the old way (pure C code, no Python). How can I do that?'''
7
8 You can configure !CitcomS to only use C code by running:
9
10
11 {{{
12 ./configure --without-pyre
13 }}}
14
15 before compiling the code.
16
17 '''Q: What does it mean when “configure” reports this error message'''
18
19
20 {{{
21 OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum
22 }}}
23
24 Are you on a 64-bit machine? If so, you will need to upgrade your Python to v2.4 or newer. Python 2.3 or earlier is not 64-bit safe.

26 '''Q: The gcc/python/mpi on my system is too old, but I don't have the privilege to update the software. How can I install gcc/python/mpi under my home directory?'''

42 '''Q: I want a specific temperature boundary condition. Where to modify?'''
43
44 Look at lib/ directory, the function full_temperature_boundary_conditions() in Full_boundary_conditions.c or regional_temperature_boundary_conditions in Regional_boundary_conditions.c is the function you need to modify.
45
46 '''Q: I want a specific velocity boundary condition. Where to modify?'''
47
48 Look at lib/ directory, the function full_velocity_boundary_conditions() in Full_boundary_conditions.c or regional_velocity_boundary_conditions() in Regional_boundary_conditions.c.
49
50 '''Q: I want a specific rheology law. Where to modify?'''
51
52 Look at lib/ directory, the function get_system_viscosity() in Viscosity_structures.c.
53
54 '''Q: I want a new equation of state or a new law for heat expansivity, heat capacity, or thermal conductivity. Where to modify?'''
55
56 Look at lib/ directory, the function () in Material_properties.c.
