This implementation has been tested at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below:
hardware: Intel Pentium III
operating system: Linux 2.4.21-4.EL
(Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon))

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 and F08 in the NAG Fortran Library Manual).

./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/fllux21dgl or /usr/local/NAG/fllux21dgl 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 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 MKL BLAS and LAPACK. You may choose to install some or all of the libraries.
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. 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.
tar xvf /cdrom/fl21_doc.tar(assuming the CD-ROM has been mounted as /cdrom).
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 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 key_rqst located in the license/bin/i86_r9/ or the license/bin/i86_re3/ subdirectory of the software distribution. This utility does not have a GUI and must be run from a command prompt. Complete the form that it displays and e-mail (or FAX) it to NAG.
A short term (demonstration or trial) license key contains one or more lines like the following:
FEATURE NAG_FL NAG 21.000 10-apr-2005 0 CBDA2041DC1BC45D2B68 "ANY" DEMOSpecifically, it has a line starting with the word FEATURE 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 FLEXlm hostid of the computer instead of the word DEMO above.
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 LM_LICENSE_FILE to the full pathname of the file before the application is invoked.
For example, in the C-shell, type:
setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE [INSTALL_DIR]/license.licor in the Bourne shell, type:
LM_LICENSE_FILE=[INSTALL_DIR]/license.lic export LM_LICENSE_FILENo other actions are required to install an uncounted license.
Further details about FLEXlm and how it may be configured to suit your local circumstances are included in the FLEXlm End Users 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:

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 FLLUX21DGL).
