NAG Users Association 1. Introduction This document is essential reading for whoever is responsible for the installation of the NAG fl90 implementation specified in the title. The installer will be supplied with a printed copy of this document. Both this and the Users' Note are supplied on the distribution medium. Whenever the NAG fl90 library has been supplied in compiled form, that form is considered to be the standard library file. The use of all supplied software must be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Software Licence signed by NAG and each site. In particular, users must not have free access to the text of the library routines. Any request to use NAG software on a computer other than the one licensed must be referred to NAG (see Section 6). 2. Implementation Provided 2.1. Applicability This implementation is a compiled, tested, ready-to-use version of NAG fl90 that is considered suitable for operation on the computer systems detailed below: hardware: all SPARC systems operating system: Solaris 2.5 Fortran compiler: NAGWare f90 v2.2 For information about implementations of NAG fl90 for use on other computer systems please contact NAG. 2.2. Derivation This implementation was produced at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below: hardware: SPARCstation 20 operating system: Solaris 2.5 Fortran compiler: NAGWare f90 v2.2(261) The entire NAG fl90 library was compiled with full optimization (-O). All routines were compiled with the following flags: -ccarg -dalign 3. Distribution Medium 3.1. Recording Details The implementation is distributed in tar format on CD-ROM, unless otherwise indicated on the medium and accompanying despatch note. For further details, refer to other documentation supplied or contact NAG (see Section 6). 3.2. Contents The following shows the directory/file organization of the materials on the distribution medium. A brief description of some of the files is given. |-- in (Installer's Note) |-- doc --|-- *.3 (man pages) | |-- *.html (HTML pages) | |-- images --|-- *.gif (image files for HTML | pages) | |-- libnagfl90.a (compiled library) fnsol03d9 --| | |-- source ---|-- *.f90 |-- examples --|-- data -----|-- *.dat | |-- results --|-- *.r | |-- source --|-- c?? --|-- *.f90 | |-- nag_mod_dir --|-- *.mod (modules which provide | essential information to NAG | fl90 and which allow the | Fortran 90 compiler to check | that procedures are called | correctly) | |-- scripts --|-- nagexample (a shell script to run example programs) 3.3. File Sizes The files require approximately the following disk space: compiled library: 7.9 Mb example program material: 1.2 Mb module information files: 1.0 Mb documentation files: 0.5 Mb library source code: 10.6 Mb (not needed on disk permanently) 4. Library Installation 4.1. Installation To install all primary material (to be made available to users), use the UNIX tar utility to read documentation, compiled libraries, module information files and examples, e.g. tar xvf /cdrom/fn03.tar fnsol03d9/doc fnsol03d9/libnagfl90.a \ fnsol03d9/nag_mod_dir fnsol03d9/examples \ fnsol03d9/scripts/nagexample (assuming the CD-ROM has been mounted as /cdrom). The object library (libnagfl90.a) should be moved to either /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, if possible, so that linkage is convenient. The module information files (nag_mod_dir/*.mod) are supplied in pre-compiled module form. They should be moved to a suitable location so that access is convenient, e.g. mkdir /usr/local/lib/fl90_modules mv nag_mod_dir/* /usr/local/lib/fl90_modules The -I"pathname" option should then be specified on each f90 invocation (where "pathname" is /usr/local/lib/fl90_modules) to tell the compiler where to find the modules. Alternatively, the files may be moved to the same directory as the pre-defined modules supplied with the compiler. The script nagexample refers to the local directory containing the example programs. The file should be copied to (for example) /usr/local/bin, modified to reflect the local installation, and its protection set to world execute. The man pages should be moved to the appropriate directory. All pages belong in section 3 of man, e.g. cd doc mv *.3 /usr/local/man/man3 To install all material (including source) use the UNIX tar utility, e.g. tar xvf /cdrom/fn03.tar Source should be needed only for reference by whoever is responsible for the installation of the library. This material should not be made available to users. 4.2. Checking Accessibility The installation can be tested by using the script nagexample (when logged in as a normal user). The script will copy an example program and its data, compile it, link it with the library and run it. For example, give the command nagexample nag_lib_support_ex01 4.3. Release to Users The supplied Users' Note should be checked and amended as necessary (particularly the section "Accessing the Library"). The Users' Note is provided in man page form in nag_fn_un.3. The following material should also be made accessible to users: compiled library: libnagfl90.a example program material: examples/source/*.f90 examples/data/*.dat examples/results/*.r scripts/nagexample module information files: nag_mod_dir/*.mod documentation files: doc/*.3 doc/*.html doc/images/*.gif Making the supplied example material directly available to users provides them with easily adaptable templates for their own problems. 5. Additional Services from NAG (a) Documentation Each NAG fl90 site is provided with a printed copy of the NAG fl90 Manual. Additional manuals are available at prices published in the NAG documentation order form. NAG fl90 TextWare, a hypertext version of the full manual, is bundled with this implementation. For a list of supported platforms, see the Installer's Note for the TextWare product. 6. Support from NAG (a) Contact with NAG Queries concerning this document or the implementation generally should be directed initially to your local Advisory Service. If you have difficulty in making contact locally, you can write to NAG directly, at one of the supplied addresses. Users subscribing to the support service are encouraged to contact one of the NAG Response Centres (see below). (b) NAG Response Centres The NAG Response Centres are available for general enquiries from all users and also for technical queries from sites with an annually licensed product or support service. The Response Centres are open during office hours, but contact is possible by fax, email and phone (answering machine) at all times. When contacting a Response Centre please quote your NAG user reference and NAG product code. (c) Network Network, NAG's newsletter, is produced periodically and sent free of charge to sites with a supported product or service. (d) NAG Website The NAG Website is an information service providing items of interest to users and prospective users of NAG products and services. The information is regularly updated and reviewed and includes implementation availability, descriptions of products, downloadable software and technical reports. The NAG Website can be accessed at http://www.nag.co.uk/ or http://www.nag.com/ (in the USA) 7. NAG Users Association NAGUA, the NAG Users Association, is a self-financing, non-profitmaking body. It exists to promote communications between NAG and users of its products and services. It provides information to NAG on the requirements of users, who are in turn kept informed of developments in services. Membership is available to any institution or individual holding a licence for any NAG product or service. Members receive discounts on the registration fees at conferences and workshops. For an information pack and membership application form, please contact NAGUA at the supplied address.
