Description Juergen Rose 2011-05-19 20:36:29 UTC

The Scalable Parallel Random Number Generators Library (SPRNG) seems to be an important library. At least the R package Rmpi ask for sprng-2.0. 
I found at http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sicortex/overlays/default/sci-libs/sprng/sprng-2.0.ebuild, which does not work for me. 

I slightly modified this ebuild. I now generates all modules. Rmpi can use the resulting library. Perhaps it is helpful for somebody.

Reproducible: Always

there are sprng-3.0 and -4.0, but the last upgrade was in 2007. sprng-4.0 requires lots of tweaking to make it build with gcc-4
