Compiling and linking with SLEPc

• module load slepc

To compile an application against the SLEPc libaries, load the slepc module and use the compiler wrappers cc, CC, and ftn in the usual way. Static libraries are available so no module is required at run time.

The SLEPc module defines SLEPC_DIR which locates the root of the installation.
