This page will provide information on caveats after specific OS upgrades. Please, refer to this information of you encounter problem as described.
SL06g -> SL06g_2
SL07a -> SL07a_3
SL07b -> SL07b_2
SL07c -> SL07c_2
Please, update your libraries rec-compile your libraries before and after the upgrade for consistency.
error: extra `;'This problem appears due to the use of the -pedantic option in our compilation options. Unfortunately, not all the pedantic issues were caught and SL44 compiler is stricter in that regard.
cvs co -rSL05c mgr/compile as usual ...
sed "s/-pedantic //" mgr/ConsDefs.pm >mgr/ConsDefs.pm.new
mv -f mgr/ConsDefs.pm.new mgr/ConsDefs.pm
vm.dirty_ratio = 10Default for the last parameter is 500 but left in for consistency as we may need to adjust later. You can always test the changes under a running kernel conditions by instead modifying the equivalent /proc/sys/vm files but the settings would likely be lost at the next reboot unless you set them in sysctl.conf.

% cat /etc/redhat-release Scientific Linux SL release 5.3 (Boron)
ATTENTION: The STAR software stack will NOT compile and/or link properly with the default SL5.3 gcc version (it has problems interpreting FORtran codes hence linking will fail in a few places and running may crash unexpectedly). You MUST upgrade and make 4.3.2 or greater the minimal version number.
% gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.3.2 20081007 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)
To make gcc 4.3.2 the default, you could use the following quick helper script (you do not want to execute this twice)

A blog page with compiler and specificities of sharing 32 and 64 bits architecture on the same node was created and accessible at You do not have access to view this node.
You must save a copy of libmysqlclient.so.14 from an SL44 system and copy it under your SL5 distribution. This is due to the fact that SL5 libmysql is of version 15.0.0 but our older code hard linked to verison 14.0.0 . Hence, if you want support for your old libraries, you must preserve a copy of libmysql.
Similarly, you will need to make a copy of liblog4cxx.so.9 .
Both could be copied in $OPTSTAR/lib/ under the 32 bits deployment.
% cat /etc/redhat-release Scientific Linux SL release 6.1 (Carbon)
The default compiler coming with SL6 was installed.
% gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)
Other revisions are in /opt/gcc at BNL and this location is supported by the STAR login's 'setup' script. Note that an alternative to set another compiler location is supported via an environment variable named USE_GCC_DIR. See documentation Setting up your computing environment for more information.
The secondary compiler choice is gcc 4.6.3 .
See Setting up your computing environment for more information related to the sysname. The sysname can be determined by the command
% fs sysname
On sites where the sysname is set to other values than what STAR/RHIC cell expects, please note that you can always set alternate sysname for your systems by using the folowing command (from a privileged account and at boot time):
% fs sysname -newsys ppc_darwin_80 -newsys foo
The above adds two new sysname to the existsing system's default. This example is provided by the AFS manpages as well as at the bottom of our Setting up your computing environment page.
A blog page with compiler and specificities of sharing 32 and 64 bits architecture on the same node was created and accessible at You do not have access to view this node. This page was used since the SL5 32/64 bits transition.
Support for SIMD instructions may appear under SL6 (the large amount of currebt issues still make this a "if" as wide support for our sites will be rendered more difficult). Please note this page: SIMD instruction sets. SIMD instructions support will NOT guarantee ABI compatibility across hardware. THe STAR_HOST_SYS environment variable may be alterred accordingly.
ATTENTION: the introduction of SIMD instructions will also create a secondary issue: compiler bugs related to SIMD instructions are numerous. We hope for this situation to settle as SIMD instruction support matures. Therefore, only strictly approved compilers will be allowed in STAR. Any other minor/major version than the "approved" one cannot be supported. A table of acceptable gcc versions will be maintained on this page (compatibility links will not be created as they used to).

% cat /etc/redhat-release Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon)
The default compiler coming with SL6 was installed.
% gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.8.2 20140120 (Red Hat 4.8.2-15)
Our gcc compiler was backward and forward compatible with gcc 4.4.6 by using the devtoolset (repackaged).
Other revisions are in /opt/gcc at BNL and this location is supported by the STAR login's 'setup' script. Note that an alternative to set another compiler location is supported via an environment variable named USE_GCC_DIR. See documentation Setting up your computing environment for more information.
The secondary compiler choice is gcc 4.6.3 and we also supported 4.4.7 for an even smoother support.
The AFS canonical sysname for SL6 is x8664_sl6.
The final list of RPMs is attached to this post as a text file for historical purposes (as well as helping setting up new systems).
% cat /etc/redhat-release Scientific Linux release 7.3 (Nitrogen)
The default compiler coming with SL6 was installed.
% gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)
Other revisions are in /opt/gcc at BNL and this location is supported by the STAR login's 'setup' script. Note that an alternative to set another compiler location is supported via an environment variable named USE_GCC_DIR. See documentation Setting up your computing environment for more information.
The secondary compiler choice is gcc 4.8.2 (so we connect smoothly with the past 4.8.2/SL6.5 and 4.6.3/SL6.2 library releases) and we also have 4.4.7 so we can go backward as far as SL11).
The AFS fs sysname for those systems is a canonical x8664_sl7.
Since the transition begins at SL7.3, gcc 4.8.5, the new base for STAR software is sl73_gcc485 and sl73_x8664_gcc485 for the 32 and 64 bits versions respectively.
Possible support for variation of SL version / gcc version combinations (each greater than the base) would go through those directories. Possible supports of SL7.x x < 3 and/or gcc versions lower than 4.8.5 would have to be made toward the sl64_gcc482 and sl64_x8664_gcc482 paths instead (in those cases, please fix the AFS sysname to be the one indicated as used for SL6).
