Affected Products:
  • HPC Module 15-SP1
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing 15 SP1

An update that has three fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for netcdf-fortran fixes the following issues:

  • The convention is to use the module name 'pnetcdf' for Parallel-NetCDF (called PnetCDF now).
  • Fix ldconfig args for HPC packages: no caching should be done as the libs are made available via LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
  • Add serial HPC build flavor. (bsc#1174177)
  • For loading serial module, run 'module load netcdf-fortran' for an MPI variant use 'module load pnetcdf-fortran'.
  • Gfortran from gcc-10 requires -std=legacy to build the Fortran code in netcdf-fortran. (bsc#1173598)

This update for netcdf fixes the following issues:

  • Make environment module name conform standards: NetCDF modules should be called 'netcdf' - regardless whether they are 'serial' or use MPI. (bsc#1174291)
