This page describes how to compile your own Gadget File Viewer on the cluster. Please note that this walkthrough assumes that you have already installed Gadget2 on the cluster. Also note that PATHINSTALL refers to /export/home/username/installations/.

To install Gadget File Viewer on the cluster, you need to have already installed HDF5 for reading HDF5 snapshots, Cairo or PIPlot for plotting graphs and LibPNG (the LibPNG library is already installed on the cluster) for writing out screenshots and movie frames. You also need pixmax to install Cairo.

• Install Cairo
  • Build Pixmax
    • ./configure –prefix=/PATHINSTALL
    • make
    • make install
  • Build Cairo
    • On the .profile file, you need to add the line

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PATHINSTALL/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
