Whenever the NAG C 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. Any request to use NAG software on a computer other than the one licensed must be referred to NAG (see Section 6).
This implementation is a compiled, tested, ready-to-use version of the NAG C Library that is considered suitable for operation on the computer systems detailed below:
hardware: all Sun SPARC systems operating system: Sun Solaris 2.5.x or compatible C compiler: GNU gcc 2.95.2 or compatible
For information about implementations of the NAG C Library for use on other computer systems please contact NAG.
This implementation was produced at NAG Ltd., Oxford, on the computing system detailed below:
hardware: Sun SPARCstation-20 operating system: Sun Solaris 2.5 C compiler: GNU gcc version 2.95.2 compiler options: -O3 -fPIC
The entire NAG C Library, Mark 6, was compiled with optimization level (-O3), except for the function e04udst.c which was compiled with optimization level (-O0).
These libraries have also been fully tested with the GNU C compiler 2.95.2 on SUN Ultra-30/300 and SUN Ultra-Enterprise running Solaris 2.6 and SUN Ultra 5/10 running Solaris 8.
For further details, refer to other documentation supplied or contact NAG (see Section 6).

compiled libraries, libnagc.a: 7.3 Mb
libnagc.so.6 5.0 Mb
include files: 1.0 Mb
example program material: 2.2 Mb
library documentation files: 0.2 Mb
PDF documentation files: 30.5 Mb
To install all library material use the Unix tar utility, e.g.
tar xvf /cdrom/cl06.tar(assuming the CD-ROM has been mounted as /cdrom).
The object libraries (libnagc.a and libnagc.so.6) should be moved to a directory, such as /usr/lib, in the default search path of the linker, if possible, so that linkage is convenient.
mv libnagc.a /usr/lib mv libnagc.so.6 /usr/lib
Also, a symbolic link should be created to the shareable library, i.e.
ln -s libnagc.so.6 libnagc.so
The include files should be moved to a directory, such as /usr/include, so that they can be automatically accessed during compilation, e.g.
mv include/nag*.h /usr/include
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 page, which directs users to the HTML form of the Users' Note, should be moved to a directory in the man search path, e.g.
cd doc mv nag_c_un.3 /usr/man/man3
tar xvf /cdrom/pdf.tar(assuming the CD-ROM has been mounted as /cdrom).
You may wish to move the PDF documentation files to the same location as that for other NAG products. You are encouraged to make them readily available to users, but in such a way that they are not generally accessible from outside your site.
The following material should also be made accessible to users:
compiled libraries:
libnagc.a libnagc.soinclude files:
include/*.hexample program material:
examples/source/??????e.c examples/data/??????e.d examples/results/??????e.r scripts/nagexamplelibrary documentation files:
doc/callspdf documentation files
Note that the example material has been adapted, if necessary, from that printed in the NAG C Library Manual, so that programs are suitable for execution with this implementation with no further changes. Making the example material directly available to users provides them with easily adaptable templates for their own problems.
On-line documentation is provided, in PDF form, with this implementation. Further information is contained in the Readme file on the distribution medium.
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 site reference and NAG product code (in this case CLSOL06DG).
