So, icemc has some needs (like Mathmore) and preferably root 6 that aren't installed on kingbeen and unity.

Here's what I did to get icecmc running on kingbee.

Throughout, $HOME=/home/clark.2668

Try to install new version fo ROOT (6.08.06, which is the version Jacob uses on OSC) with CMAKE. Failed because Kingbee version of cmake is too old.
Downloaded new version of CMAKE (3.11.0), failed because kingbee doesn't have C++11 support.
Downloaded new version of gcc (7.33) and installed that in $HOME/QCtools/source/gcc-7.3. So I installed it "in place".
Then, compiled the new version of CMAKE, also in place, so it's in $HOME/QCtools/source/cmake-3.11.0.
Then, tried to compile ROOT, but it got upset because it couldn't find CXX11; so I added "export CC=$HOME/QCtools/source/gcc-7.3/bin/gcc" and then it could find it.
Then, tried to compile ROOT, but couldn't because ROOT needs >python 2.7, and kingbee has python 2.6.
So, downloaded latest bleeding edge version of python 3 (pyton 3.6.5), and installed that with optimiation flags. It's installed in $HOME/QCtools/tools/python-3.6.5-build.
Tried to compile ROOT, and realized that I need to also compile the shared library files for python. So went back and compiled with --enable-shared as an argument to ./configure.
Had to set the python binary, include, and library files custom in the CMakeCache.txt file.
