Recent gcc versions on Lux¶
Lux uses by default gcc 4.8.5 owing to the version of CentOS used by the cluster management system. Some people require a more recent version of gcc, and we provide gcc 8.1 as an alternative.
Loading a more recent gcc version¶
To load a more recent gcc version, you may use the devtoolset
module:
module load devtoolset-8/8.1
This module should reset the gcc in your path to v8.1.
