You may want to check the whether /etc/resolv.conf exists and if not exist, create the file file and update the DNS

- name: Check if resolv.conf file exists
  stat:
      path: /etc/resolv.conf
  register: file_info

- name: Create /etc/resolv.conf if it exists
  file:
     path: /etc/resolv.conf
     state: touch
  when: not file_info.stat.exists

- name: Set DNS nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf
  blockinfile:
      path: /etc/resolv.conf
      block: |
            search example.com
            nameserver x.x.x.x

No matching repo to modify: PowerTools when using dnf install on Rocky Linux 8.5

I was trying to install hdf5 after enabling EPEL. Installing EPEL

% dnf install -y epel-release
% dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
Error: No matching repo to modify: PowerTools.

I’ve noticed this documentation from CentOS-8 Repoid, there are name changes from Yum_repo_file_and_repoid_changes from 8.3 onwards. The documents can be found at https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS8.2011#Yum_repo_file_and_repoid_changes

Compiling Singularity-CE-3.10.0 on Rocky Linux 8

The Official Documentation can be found at https://sylabs.io/guides/3.0/user-guide/installation.html

Prerequisites 1 – Go

Go to the Download Page https://go.dev/dl/ to download the Linux Version.

Extract the archive you downloaded into /usr/local, creating a Go tree in /usr/local/go.

This step below will remove a previous installation at /usr/local/go, if any, prior to extracting. Please back up any data before proceeding.

% rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.18.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Add /usr/local/go/bin to the PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line to your $HOME/.profile or /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation):

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

Verify the Installation with the command

% go version

Compiling Singularity

To download Singularity, do visit the download site. Singularity uses a build system called makeit. mconfig is called to generate Makefile and them make is used to compile and install

% git clone https://github.com/sylabs/singularity.git --recurse-submodules
% cd singularity
% ./mconfig --prefix=/usr/local/singularity-ce-3.10.0
% cd builddir
% make
% make install
.....
.....
 checking: header linux/securebits.h... yes
 checking: header linux/capability.h... yes
 checking: libseccomp+headers... yes
 checking: conmon source... no

conmon source not found

Unless you are building --without-conmon you must 'git clone --recurse-submodules'
or 'git submodule update --init'.

You may want to install glib2-devel, delete the singularity directory and make the singularity again. 

% dnf install glib2-devel

Remote the cloned singularity directory and git clone again

% rm -Rv --force singularity
% git clone https://github.com/sylabs/singularity.git --recurse-submodules

Recompile with mconfig again. If successful, it should be something like

=> generating fragments ...
=> building Makefile ...
=> generating singularity-ce.spec ...
=> project singularity-ce setup with :
    - host arch: x86_64
    - host wordsize: 64-bit
    - host C compiler: cc
    - host Go compiler: /usr/local/go-1.18.3/bin/go
    - host system: unix
      ---
    - target arch: x86_64
    - target wordsize: 64-bit
    - target C compiler: cc
      ---
    - config profile: release
      ---
    - SUID install: yes
    - Network plugins: yes
    - seccomp support: yes
    - Build conmon: yes
      ---
    - verbose: no
      ---
    - cryptsetup: /usr/sbin/cryptsetup
      ---
    - version: 3.10.0+21-g1b1a05ff8

% cd builddir
% make
% make install

Testing

As long as you see a cow your installation is working properly…….

% singularity run library://godlovedc/funny/lolcow
< Exercise caution in your daily affairs. >

Error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory on Rocky-Linux 8.5

If you encounter an error similar to this

% /usr/local/ansys_inc/v221/fluent/fluent22.1.0/launcher/bin/../lnamd64/launcher1: error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director

You have to install the libnsl library as libnsl.so.1 is not installed in Red Hat Linux release 8 be default. 

% dnf install libnsl
by

Compiling GCC 12.1.0 on Rocky Linux 8.5

Option 1: The longer and customised method

Step 1: Download the following prerequisites applications libraries from https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/

  1. gmp-6.2.1
  2. mpfr-4.1.0
  3. mpc-1.2.1

Step 1. Install gmp-6.2.1

% bunzip2 gmp-6.2.1.tar.bz2
% tar -xvf gmp-6.2.1.tar
% cd gmp-6.2.1
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gmp-6.2.1
% make 
% make install

Step 2: Install mpfr-4.1.0 (requires gmp-6.2.1 as prerequisites)

% bunzip2 mpfr-4.1.0.tar.bz
% tar -xvf mpfr-4.1.0.tar
% cd mpfr-4.1.0/
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mpfr-4.1.0 --with-gmp=/usr/local/gmp-6.2.1/
% make
% make install

Step 3: Install mpc-1.2.1 (requires gmp-6.2.1 and mpfr-4.1.0)

% tar -zxvf mpc-1.2.1.tar.gz
% cd mpc-1.2.1/
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mpc-1.2.1 -with-gmp=/usr/local/gmp-6.2.1 --with-mpfr=/usr/local/mpfr-4.1.0
% make
% make install

Step 4: Install isl-0.24 (requires gmp-6.2.1 as prerequisites)

% bunzip2 isl-0.24.tar.bz2
% tar -xvf isl-0.24.tar
% cd isl-0.24
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/isl-0.24 --with-gmp-prefix=/usr/local/gmp-6.2.1/
% make
% make install

Configure and Build GCC

% git clone git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git
% cd gcc
% mkdir build-gcc
% cd build-gcc
% ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-12.1 --enable-bootstrap --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,lto --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --enable-multilib --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-gnu-unique-object --enable-linker-build-id --with-gcc-major-version-only --with-linker-hash-style=gnu --enable-plugin --enable-initfini-array --disable-libmpx --enable-offload-targets=nvptx-none --without-cuda-driver --enable-gnu-indirect-function --enable-cet --with-tune=generic --with-arch_32=x86-64 --build=x86_64-redhat-linux --with-static-standard-libraries --with-gmp=/usr/local/gmp-6.2.1 --with-mpc=/usr/local/mpc-1.2.1 --with-mpfr=/usr/local/mpfr-4.1.0 --with-isl=/usr/local/isl-0.24 --with-isl-lib=/usr/local/isl-0.24/lib --with-isl-include=/usr/local/isl-0.24/include

You may encounter issues like

/usr/local/software/gcc/build-gcc/./gcc/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libisl.so.23: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

An alternative way is to let GCC do the download for you….. Retracing the steps 

% git clone git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git
% cd gcc
% contrib/download_prerequisites
% mkdir build-gcc
% cd build-gcc
% ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-12.1 --enable-bootstrap --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,lto --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --enable-multilib --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-gnu-unique-object --enable-linker-build-id --with-gcc-major-version-only --with-linker-hash-style=gnu --enable-plugin --enable-initfini-array --disable-libmpx --enable-offload-targets=nvptx-none --without-cuda-driver --enable-gnu-indirect-function --enable-cet --with-tune=generic --with-arch_32=x86-64 --build=x86_64-redhat-linux --with-static-standard-libraries

If you encounter any errors during make such as 

/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:11: fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory

It is due to missing glibc-devel and glibc-devel.i686. You have to do a dnf install glibc-devel and glibc-devel.i686

% dnf install glibc-devel glibc-devel.i686

Option 2: The Faster Method

You can take a look at Compiling GCC-10.4.0 on CentOS-7 and tune to GCC-12.1.0

Installing Environment Modules on Rocky Linux 8.5

Step 1: Download the modules packages

You can download the latest version of Modules Environment from http://modules.sourceforge.net/. The current version is 5.1

% dnf install tcl tcl-devel
% tar -zxvf modules-5.1.0.tar.gz
% cd modules-5.1.0
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Modules \
--modulefilesdir=/usr/local/Modules/modulefiles
$ make && make install

By default, /usr/local/Modules/modulefiles will be setup as the default directory containing modulefiles. –modulefilesdir option enables to change this directory location.

Step 2: Configuration

# ln -s /usr/local/Modules/init/profile.sh /etc/profile.d/modules.sh
# ln -s /usr/local/Modules/init/profile.csh /etc/profile.d/modules.csh

Step 3: Source the Configuration

# source /etc/profile.d/modules.sh

Step 4: Start Adding Modules. Sample. A Sample File may look something like this. This is a Gcc-6.50 

#%Module1.0
proc ModulesHelp { } {

global version prefix

        puts stderr "\tmodules - loads the gcc-6.5.0"
