We have been working on getting our Operating System on the Linux side upgraded to 
a much newer version. This enhances our systems to run with some of the latest 
drivers and applications. This is also a 64-bit OS. 

Here are some tips on the new OS.

• If you want to compile 64-bit code, you may need to set up some environmental variables before recompiling.

Recommended

     Store your 64-bit code, binaries and libraries in a separate directory
     since we still have 32-bit systems available

• To compile your code on the new Operating System (newindigo),you may need to set up environment variables

 setenv LD_RUN_PATH "/cse/local/lib64"
 setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH "/cse/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig"

• Be aware if you log into other systems and try to run your 64-bit code, it will not run, hence the reason to put yur 64-bit programs, libraries in a separate directory
