README
This directory contains links to the Multi-scale Coarse-graining (MS-CG) library which is required to use the MSCG package and its fix command in a LAMMPS input script. The MS-CG library is available at https://github.com/uchicago-voth/MSCG-release and was developed by Jacob Wagner in Greg Voth's group at the University of Chicago. This library requires a the GNU scientific library (GSL v 2.1+). You can type "make lib-mscg" from the src directory to see help on how to download and build this library via make commands, or you can do the same thing by typing "python Install.py -m <machine>" from within this directory, or you can do it manually by following the instructions below. ----------------- You must perform the following steps yourself. 1. Download MS-CG at https://github.com/uchicago-voth/MSCG-release either as a tarball or via SVN, and unpack the tarball either in this lib/mscg directory or somewhere else on your system. 2. Ensure that you have GSL installed and a compiler with support for C++11. 3. Compile MS-CG from within its home directory using your makefile of choice: % make -f Makefile.<machine> libmscg.a It is recommended that you start with Makefile.g++_simple for most machines. There are also two Makefile with settings matching the "mpi" and "serial" makefiles in the main LAMMPS folder. 4. There is no need to install MS-CG system-wide if you only wish to use it from LAMMPS. 5. Create two soft links in this dir (lib/mscg) to the MS-CG src directory. E.g if you built MS-CG in this dir: % ln -s src includelink % ln -s src liblink These links could instead be set to the include and lib directories created by a MS-CG install, e.g. % ln -s /usr/local/include includelink % ln -s /usr/local/lib liblink 6. Copy a suitable Makefile.lammps.<machine> to Makefile.lammps or copy Makefile.lammps.default to Makefile.lammps and edit as needed. ----------------- When these steps are complete you can build LAMMPS with the MS-CG package installed: % cd lammps/src % make yes-USER-MSCG % make g++ (or whatever target you wish) Note that if you download and unpack a new LAMMPS tarball, the "includelink" and "liblink" files will be lost and you will need to re-create them (step 4). If you built MS-CG in this directory (as opposed to somewhere else on your system) and did not install it somewhere else, you will also need to repeat steps 1,2,3. The Makefile.lammps file in this directory is there for compatibility with the way other libraries under the lib dir are linked with by LAMMPS. MS-CG requires the GSL and LAPACK libraries as listed in Makefile.lammps. If they are not in default locations where your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment settings can find them, then you should add the approrpriate -L paths to the mscg_SYSPATH variable in Makefile.lammps.
