Here is one solution: Load installed KiTrack package into your environment

module use /cvmfs/star.sdcc.bnl.gov/star-spack/spack/share/spack/modules/linux-rhel7-x86_64
module load kitrack-01-10-star-1-gcc-4.8.5-h35oof3

Hi, Dmitri

Here is one solution: Load installed KiTrack package into your environment

Our environment is the standard STAR login environment. If you're proposing to change that environment, you need to bring Jerome into the discussion. I assume that changing the environment (should that be the chosen solution) will be either transparent to the Production Team and other users, or you'll let us know what impacts to expect.

Thanks, -Gene

The proposed solution adds the kitrack's include path to the CPATH env variable

Hi, I am reviewing old issues on rainy Sunday afternoon ... this particular issue has not been followed up in ~3years. Is there still a need to leave it open? Please advise.

The STAR environment did eventually get modified to include the spack modules. Thanks for the ping, Frank.
