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: Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER SPARC64 V systems or compatible operating system: SunOS 5.9 or compatible C compiler: Fujitsu C Compiler Driver Version 5.5 or compatible
This implementation was produced at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below:
hardware: Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER 850
operating system: SunOS 5.9 Generic_112233-11 sun4us sparc FJSV,GPUZC-M
C compiler: Fujitsu C Compiler Driver Version 5.5
compiler options: -KV9 -KPIC -mt -O3 \
-Kdalign,eopt,eval,FMADD,lib,gs,fuse,prefetch
The NAG C Library, Mark 8, was compiled with with the options above except for the following functions, which had to be compiled at lesser optimization levels:
g03fazt.c (-KV9 -KPIC -mt -O3 -Kdalign,FMADD,lib,gs,fuse,prefetch) x03aayt.c (-KV9 -KPIC -mt -O3 -Kdalign,FMADD,lib,gs,fuse,prefetch)
This library has been tested using the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) and linear algebra routines (LAPACK) provided by NAG (see the Chapter Introductions for f06, f07, f08 and f16 in the NAG C Library Manual).

compiled libraries: libnagc_nag.a 32.0 Mb libnagc_nag.so.8 24.4 Mb include files: 0.9 Mb example program material: 12.0 Mb scripts: 0.1 Mb library documentation files: 0.1 Mb manual documentation files: 179 Mb
./install.shBy default, the materials will be installed in /opt/NAG/ or /usr/local/NAG/ depending on your system. However, the installer may choose a different location. In this document we refer to the directory /opt/NAG/clfsv08da or /usr/local/NAG/clfsv08da as [INSTALL_DIR].
The directory [INSTALL_DIR] is referenced in the Users' Note (un.html).
The directory [INSTALL_DIR]/scripts contains one or more scripts to show how to use the libraries provided with this implementation. See Users' Note, Example Programs. Subsequent to the installation, if the installer moves the library to some other location then these scripts must be changed to reflect that fact.
To simplify access to the libraries you may wish to move the symbolic links to a system location such as /usr/lib pointing at the installed libraries. They would then be in the default search path of the linker during the link phase, and be available for execution at run time (in the case of shareable libraries). Note that if both the static and shareable version of a library are placed in a directory then the shareable version is usually used by default.
The install script can install the Library documentation material in the same location as the NAG Library material or at some other location of the installer's choice.
You may wish to move the Library documentation files to the same location as that for other NAG products. You are encouraged to make them readily available to users.
The include files may be moved to a directory such as /usr/include so that they can be accessed during compilation, e.g.
mv include/*.h /usr/include
The libraries can be installed manually by following the instructions below:
Use the tar utility to extract the materials, e.g.
tar xvf /cdrom/cl08.tar(assuming the CD-ROM has been mounted as /cdrom).
Each library is provided in both static and shareable format. You may choose to install one or both of the libraries.
To simplify access to the libraries you may wish to move the symbolic links to a system location such as /usr/lib pointing at the installed libraries. Then they would be in the default search path of the linker during the link phase, and be available for execution at run time (in the case of shareable libraries). Note that if both the static and shareable version of a library are placed in a directory then the shareable version is usually used by default.
To install the Library documentation material manually, use the tar utility, e.g.

You may wish to move the Library documentation files to the same location as that for other NAG products. You are encouraged to make them readily available to users.
The include files may be moved to a directory such as /usr/include so that they can be accessed during compilation, e.g.
mv include/*.h /usr/include
The directory [INSTALL_DIR]/scripts contains one or more scripts to show how to use the libraries provided with this implementation. These scripts refer to the local directory containing the example programs. The files should be copied to (for example) /usr/local/bin, modified to reflect the local installation, and their protection set to world execute.
The following material should also be made accessible to users:
documentation files:
The nagdoc_cl08 directory contains the online documentation. This should be made available to users, in addition to the following:
compiled libraries:
libnagc_nag.a libnagc_nag.so (symbolic link pointing at libnagc_nag.so.8)Include files:
include/*.hexample program material:
examples/source/??????e.c examples/data/??????e.d examples/results/??????e.r scripts/nagc_example*
Note that the example material has been adapted, if necessary, from that published in the NAG C Library Manual, so that programs are suitable for execution with this implementation with no further changes (but see Section 4.3.1 for comments about possible differences in results obtained). Making the example material directly available to users provides them with easily adaptable templates for their own problems.
On-line documentation is bundled with this implementation. Please see Section 4. See Section 3.1 for the location of the online help files in HTML, PDF and XHTML formats.
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 it helps us deal with your enquiry quickly if you can quote your NAG site reference and NAG product code (CLFSV08DA).
