[Cod-bugs] Trouble installing COD-Tools on a supercomputer

Hello,
   I am not actually reporting a bug.  Your package has been
successfully built on a workstation.  This was just the only contact 
e-mail address I could locate.

   We have received a request from our Electron Microscopy Center to
install COD_Tools for them on our supercomputers so they do not have to
offload their data to a local system.  However, I have run into
troubles.  The build shells seem preoccupied with building packages like
Perl, Bison GCC and others themselves.  These already exist on our
machines. They exist in non-standalone locations and their environments
are loaded using modules.  What would be really helpful would be the
package to compile and just use the prerequisites it needs from its
environment.  Of course, it also will be put in a different file system
and no scripts have the rights to sudo.  Any direction you could give,
would be very helpful.
Thank you,
   Ray Sheppard
