Your attention is drawn to the terms and conditions of the Software License regarding the use of NAG software. Any request to use this software other than on the licensed computer must be referred to NAG, as should requests for information about the availability of other implementations.
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: AMD 64-bit systems and compatible (including EM64T) operating system: Linux 2.6.11.4-20a (SuSE 9.3 x86-64) and compatible C compiler: gcc 3.3.5 and compatible (including Intel icc 8.0) Vendor Library: AMD ACML version 3.0.0 and compatible
This implementation was produced at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below:
hardware: AMD Athlon 64 operating system: Linux 2.6.11.4-20a (SuSE 9.3 x86-64) C compiler: gcc 3.3.5 and compatible Compiler options: -m64 -fexceptions
This implementation has also been tested on the Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology system detailed below:
hardware: EM64T
operating system: Linux 2.6.5-1.358 (Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang))
with glibc 2.3.3-27
C compiler: GNU C compiler gcc Version 3.3.3
The entire NAG C Library, Mark 8, was compiled with compiler optimization
-O3.
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).
The library has been also tested with AMD ACML version 3.6.0 (with 64 bit integers). The AMD ACML libraries are being supplied as a part of this product (see contents). To use this version of the ACML libraries, the runtime support libraries (libnagcacmlsupport.a/libnagcacmlsupport.so) provided with this distribution must also be installed.

./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/cll6a08dhl or /usr/local/NAG/cll6a08dhl as [INSTALL_DIR].
The directory [INSTALL_DIR] is also 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 libraries 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 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 install script can install the Library Manual 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 Manual to the same location as that for other NAG products. You are encouraged to make the Manual readily available to users.
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 also have a choice of libraries; self contained libraries which use NAG supplied BLAS and LAPACK or libraries which require the use of vendor supplied BLAS and LAPACK. You may choose to install some or all 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 Manual, use the tar utility, e.g.
tar xvf /cdrom/cl08_doc.tar(assuming the CD-ROM has been mounted as /cdrom).
You may wish to move the Library Manual to the same location as that for other NAG products. You are encouraged to make the Manual 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/includeThe 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.
In order to enable the software, NAG will issue you with a license key. The license key is a simple text file containing details of the software that will be enabled.
To request a license key, run the program khostid located in the license/bin/amd64/ subdirectory of the software distribution. This utility must be run from a command prompt. Return the information that it displays by e-mail (or FAX) to NAG.
A short term (demonstration or trial) license key contains one or more lines like the following:
CLL6A08DH TRIAL 2007/11/12 "EMnxidA3oeoj0F1Yvi5ibxPjB7"Specifically, it has a line containing the word TRIAL and is referred to here as an uncounted license key. Longer term uncounted license keys must be locked to a specific computer, i.e. they will enable the software on one computer only. These license keys include the word NODE instead of the word TRIAL above. Other types of keys may also be issued.
Once you have obtained the license key, store the text of it in a file, say [INSTALL_DIR]/license.lic.
For an uncounted license, the location of the license file must be made known to the NAG application by setting the environment variable NAG_KUSARI_FILE to the full pathname of the file before the application is invoked.
For example, in the C-shell, type:
setenv NAG_KUSARI_FILE [INSTALL_DIR]/license.licor in the Bourne shell, type:
NAG_KUSARI_FILE=[INSTALL_DIR]/license.lic export NAG_KUSARI_FILENo other actions are required to install an uncounted license.
Further details about Kusari and how it may be configured to suit your local circumstances are included in the Kusari License Management documentation in the license/doc/ subdirectory of the software distribution.
The following material should also be made accessible to users:
documentation files:
The nagdoc_cl08 directory contains the Library Manual. 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) libnagc_acml.a libnagc_acml.so (symbolic link pointing at libnagc_acml.so.8) AMD ACML libraries supplied by NAGInclude 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 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.
The installer should ensure that the advice given to users in Section 3.1 of the Users' Note (un.html) is suitable for the installation. This can be done by running a few example programs following that advice. The installation can also be tested using the scripts nagc_example*.
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.
