Where are the scientific packages?
I installed the latest SL hoping that this would come with all scientific packages. I was amazed that the default installation had none of them, not even g77, but that was fixed. Still, I am surprised-I expected at least one special submenu for scientific packages and see none,not even grace. grace I cannot even get with yum. Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? maybe this answers your question: https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/faq/general1 Q. Where are all the 'science' programs? A. This linux distribution is called Scientific Linux because it is made by scientific labs, for scientific labs and universities. It is not named Scientific Linux because it has the largest collection of scientific programs. It was named back when it was small, and only the scientific labs were using it.
Where do the SL users find scientific packages?
As suggested by Urs Beyerle urs.beye...@env.ethz.ch ..but are they available someplace(in the labs perhaps), as rpms or something? As far as I understand from your reply the answer is no, you must find them and build them yourself. I would suggest to reply to my mail on the mailing list and ask the SL users where they find the scientific applications for SL. There a plenty of repositories out there that are compatible with SL and include scientific rpms. Urs Could we have an idea of where SL users get their scientific packages from? Thus far we have one answer, (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) Any others?

We have had good results using EPEL (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) repository alongside the SL repo. Any others?

A nice pile of astronomical programs put together by ESO: http://www.eso.org/sci/data-processing/software/scisoft/ They don't have a specific RHEL or SL repo, but their FC6 one works well for me. -- Alec Habig, University of Minnesota Duluth Physics Dept. ha...@neutrino.d.umn.edu http://neutrino.d.umn.edu/~habig/
