Install Xmipp¶

• Download the v2.4 source code from http://xmipp.cnb.csic.es/twiki/bin/view/Xmipp/InstallingTheSoftware
• Unzip the source code:
  

  tar zxvf Xmipp-2.4-src.tar.gz

• Go into Xmipp source directory
• Find openmpi directory
  

  locate libmpi.so
    /usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.7-gcc/lib/libmpi.so
  

• Setup Xmipp to use openmpi by changing three lines in SConstruct
  

  cp -v SConstruct SConstruct.orig
  

opts.Add('MPI_INCLUDE', 'MPI headers dir ', '/usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.7-gcc/include/')
opts.Add('MPI_LIBDIR', 'MPI libraries dir ', '/usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.7-gcc/lib/')
opts.Add('MPI_LIB', 'MPI library', 'mpi')

• Compile
  

  sudo mpi-selector --yes --system --set `rpm --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-gcc-%{ARCH}\n' -q openmpi`
  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.7-gcc/bin
  ./scons.configure
  

• Look for the following line in the output:
  

  * Checking for MPI ... yes
  

• Now compile the source code
  

  ./scons.compile
