Robert's suggestion of Anaconda got me to thinking about maintaining some IPS packages for OI.
I typically build from source and have an /app tree with symlinks from bin, lib, etc to the actual files so I can flip from one release to another with a couple of commands. I've used the scheme for 10 years or so and it has worked very well. That said, it should not be a significant effort for me to create IPS packages beyond learning how to create a package. Things of which I am aware and have an interest: GLPK (Gnu Linear Programming Kit) gnuplot R Octave Anaconda Seismic Unix R and Octave have a huge number of dependencies on BLAS and other math libraries. In addition, the last time I tried, Octave would not build because the configuration files were borked. But it shouldn't be that hard to write a shell script to build it. There are, of course, many scientific packages. Far more than I care to build, but I'm open to suggestions for additions to the list above. Have Fun!
