This implementation is a compiled, tested, ready-to-use version of the NAG fl90 that is considered suitable for operation on the computer systems detailed below:
hardware: Intel 32-bit systems
operating system: Linux Red Hat 9 Kernel 2.4.20-8 (Shrike, glibc-2.3.2-11.9) and compatible
(including RHEL4 Kernel 2.6.9-5.EL (Nahant, glibc-2.3.4-2))
Fortran compiler: Intel Fortran Compiler for 32-bit applications,
Version 8.1 and compatible (including versions 9.0 and 9.1)
This implementation was produced at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below:
hardware: Intel Pentium 4
operating system: Linux 2.4.20-8 (Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike))
Fortran compiler: Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 8.1
Build 20060606Z Package ID: l_fc_pc_8.1.034
The entire NAG fl90 library, Release 4, was compiled with
full optimizaion (-O4),
except for the following procedures,
which had to be compiled at lesser optimization levels:
d03fay_7dt (-O0)This library has been tested using the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) and linear algebra routines (LAPACK) provided by NAG.
The library has been also tested with MKL version 8.1 (l_mkl_p_8.1.014). The MKL version 8.1 libraries are supplied as a part of this product (see contents).
The library has been also tested with version 9.0 (Build 20050912Z Package ID: l_fc_c_9.0.027) and version 9.1 (Build 20060323Z Package ID: l_fc_p_9.1.032) of the Intel compiler.
The library has been also tested using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant) operating system (Kernel 2.6.9-5.ELsmp with glibc glibc-2.3.4-2).

./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/fnlux04del or /usr/local/NAG/fnlux04del 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 module information files nagfl90_modules/*.mod are supplied in pre-compiled module form.

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.
Use the tar utility to extract the materials, e.g.
tar xvf /cdrom/fn04.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 supplied BLAS and LAPACK. You may choose to install some or all of the libraries.

The directory [INSTALL_DIR]/scripts

refer to the local directory containing the example

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/linux/ 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:
FNLUX04DE TRIAL 2006/9/9 "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_fn04 directory contains the online documentation. This should be made available to users, in addition to the following:
compiled libraries:
libnagfl90_nag.a libnagfl90_nag.so libnagfl90_mkl.a libnagfl90_mkl.soMKL libraries supplied by NAG
mkl_32/*module information files:
nagfl90_modules/*.modexample program material:
examples/source/*.f90 examples/data/*.dat examples/results/*.r scripts/nagfl90_example*
Note that the example material has been adapted, if necessary, from that published in the NAG fl90 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 FNLUX04DEL).
