[CIG-MC] Installing ASPECT on Cray XC30

Hi Max, 

Thank you, I was not aware of this mailing list! 
I’ll send it now. 
(and sorry for using the wrong mailing list)

Not sure which one is the best for that… And definitely no real admin for the clusters. They are “self-organised”, which is not always for the best)

I tried to modify by hand the configure file (adding ftn where I could find the system was looking for fortran of mpif77.) But I guess it’s definitely not a good idea, and I am obviously still missing a couple of call because I still got the same error.

> In this particular cluster, we need to be careful with the path where to install (the default one is on a drive that is very slow to access, and compilation takes forever), so I had to use a -p path option. Also, I think I used first too many cores to compile, and got a memory error (internal compiler error raised, which seems to be related to available memory)
