General Usage

Perl5 is a high-level scripting language.

This module will add the commands perl, perldoc, etc. to your path.

In case you need to link against this library in your code, the following environmental variables have been defined:

  • $PARMETIS_ROOT has been set to the root of the perl installation
  • $PARMETIS_LIBDIR points to the directory containing the libraries
  • $PARMETIS_INCDIR points to the directory containing the header files

You will probably wish to use these by adding the following flags to your compilation command (e.g. to CFLAGS in your Makefile):

  • -I$PARMETIS_INCDIR

and the following flags to your link command (e.g. LDFLAGS in your Makefile):

  • -L$PARMETIS_LIBDIR -Wl,-rpath,$PARMETIS_LIBDIR
