Indeed. But I like to install the software on every node locally
instead of e.g. sharing it over NFS. Having a RPM to install is
very convinient then. And I need to build from source to make lam
use our fortran compiler instead of g77.

Okay... :)

Unfortunately my build machine crashed lately (or to be more precise,
I screwed it up) and I did a reinstall without saving the spec file.
However, my notes about the build process are the following; this
should be clear enough:
export FC=ifort
export FFLAGS="-tpp6 -xK -O2"
export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -march=athlon-xp -fmessage-length=0"
export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS
vi lam-7.1.1.spec
# edit release
# change split at top to 0, rpi to tcp
# replace gcc-g77 by intel-ifort8-whatever
# cf 'rpm -q --provides -p intel-ifort8-8.1-019.i386.rpm'
rpmbuild -ba lam-7.1.1.spec
I wanted to reproduce the build but then saw that you have released a
new src rpm with increased verion. Dont know what you changed there and
whether my 'recipe' is still applicable.
Dominik.
