I've set up an area on the lab1 system for third party code that we use for the RCE project. The directory /reg/g/rce/packages/ is set up like a /usr/local, and currently contains the following 3rd party packages:

To use these:
setenv PATH /reg/g/rce/packages/bin:$PATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /reg/g/rce/packages/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
