2.install gcc ‘wget http://mirrors.concertpass.com/gcc/releases/gcc-4.6.2/gcc-4.6.2.tar.gz'
3.unzip it tar xzf gcc-4.6.2.tar.gz
4.cd gcc-4.6.2 => ’./contrib/download_prerequisites’
5.cd .. ——> mkdir ‘test_gcc’
6.cd ‘test_gcc’

8.make
9.make install
10.make check-c++
11.make check-c
12.go to /mounts/pollock/software/Modules/3.2.10/modulefiles
13.mkdir gcc and cd gcc and vi 4.6.2
14.put this inside

Another recipe, this one for blast+ on {hopper, pollock}:

1. mkdir /mounts/pollock/software/blast+
2. download and unpack source
3. ./configure --prefix=/mounts/pollock/software/blast+
4. make && make install # and wait 3 hours... (make -j 1 to be conservative)
5. mkdir /mounts/pollock/software/Modules/3.2.10/modulefiles
6. mkdir blast+
7. vi blast+/2.3.0 (see this file for an example to use with BLAST+)
