The SBGrid Consortium at Harvard Medical School has an immediate opening for a Software Curator. The curator will engage with a dynamic and rapidly advancing research community to meet their expanding needs for biomedical computing. He or she will work as a member of a research computing team that also interfaces with the Harvard Medical School Research Computing Group and the Open Science Grid.
Key Responsibilities and duties:
SBGrid supports a variety of biological laboratories by providing a tested and refined software infrastructure that includes a large library of scientific applications. This software is written in a variety of languages (Fortran, C, C++, Python, Java, Perl, Tcl/Tk and many sh/csh scripts) and built with any one of a number of different build systems (autotools, cmake, scons, homebrew shell …

Many of our Mac and Linux users now (or will soon) have new operating systems with the release of Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite and version 7 from Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Scientific Linux (SL). We're adding support for these new operating systems and will phase out support for older versions in the coming months. As we've been testing these new versions we noticed a couple of bugs. Please read below for details and to find out how these changes will impact your software installation:
Mac OSX Users:
- MAC 10.10 Yosemite Bug: for applications that require X11, the 10.10 upgrade process appears to remove a symlink that is critical for xquartz on Mac and results in a missing library error: dyld: Library not loaded: …
