This page is for supplementary information relating to the implementation described in Section 2.1 of the Installer's Note. It may be augmented over the life-time of the product if further pertinent information becomes available.
hardware: x86_64 systems operating system: Linux 2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.x86_64
(GNU C Library stable release version 2.9) and compatible Fortran compiler: Intel Fortran Compiler
version 16.0.3.210 and compatible OpenMP runtime: Intel OpenMP Library, libiomp5 and compatible vendor library: Intel MKL version 11.3.3 and compatible
The distribution for this Library has been updated (July 2017) to avoid a clash between one of the Intel runtime libraries originally shipped with the product and some of the newer Linux distributions. If you experience problems with the NAG Library (i.e. crashes when using the NAG shared libraries) when moving to a newer operating system, please either download and install the latest NAG Library distribution or replace the file libintlc.so.5 in the [INSTALL_DIR]/rtl/intel64 directory with one from an Intel 2017 distribution (where [INSTALL_DIR] is the directory in which the NAG Library has been installed). The NAG static libraries are unaffected.
With newer versions of the Intel compiler (ifort 17.x and newer), you may need to modify the link command used by the nag_example_shar_mkl script to replace the line
flink="${nagldir}/libnag_mkl.so -L${mkldir} -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core -L${nagdir}/rtl/intel64 -liomp5 -lpthread -lm -ldl"
by the line
flink="${nagldir}/libnag_mkl.so -L${mkldir} -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core -liomp5 -lpthread -lm -ldl"
i.e. remove the text "-L${nagdir}/rtl/intel64" from the flink line.
