./install.shBy default, the materials will be installed in /opt/NAG/ or /usr/local/NAG/ depending on your system. The installer may choose a different location. In this document we refer to the directory /opt/NAG/fll6a21d9l or /usr/local/NAG/fll6a21d9l 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 create symbolic links in 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 NAG Fortran Library Interface Blocks define the type and arguments of each user callable NAG Fortran Library routine. These are not essential to calling the NAG Fortran Library from Fortran 90/95 programs. Their purpose is to allow the Fortran 90/95 compiler to check that NAG Fortran Library routines are called correctly.
The interface block files (nag_interface_blocks/*) are supplied in both source form and pre-compiled module form.
The -Ipathname option should then be specified on each f95 invocation (where pathname is [INSTALL_DIR]/nag_interface_blocks) to tell the compiler where to find the modules.
The libraries can be installed manually by following the instructions below:
Use the tar utility to extract the materials, e.g.
tar xvf /cdrom/fl21.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 ACML supplied BLAS and LAPACK. You may choose to install some or all of the 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.

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.
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:
FLL6A21D9 TRIAL 2005/11/12 "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 Licence Management User Guide.
The following material should also be made accessible to users:
documentation files:
The nagdoc_fl21 directory contains the online documentation. This should be made available to users, in addition to the following:
compiled libraries:
libnag_nag.a libnag_nag.so libnag_acml.a libnag_acml.so ACML libraries supplied by NAGinterface block files:
nag_interface_blocks/*example program material:
examples/source/??????e.f examples/data/??????e.d examples/results/??????e.r scripts/nagexample*
Note that the example material has been adapted, if necessary, from that published in the NAG Fortran 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.
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 (in this case FLL6A21D9L).
