Your attention is drawn to the terms and conditions of the Software License Agreement 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 Toolbox for MATLAB that is considered suitable for use on the computer systems detailed below:
hardware: x86-32 systems and compatible operating system: Linux 2.6.12 and compatible MATLAB Version: 7.4 (R2007a), 7.5 (R2007b), 7.6 (R2008a)To use the toolbox, a licence for Mark 21 of the NAG Fortran Library must be installed and available. This product is compatible with the following products without any further configuration.
The user needs to have MATLAB installed. This implementation may work with later versions of MATLAB than 7.6 (R2008a).
If the user chooses to have their MATLAB path updated during installation, the file toolbox/local/pathdef.m will be modified. If the user installs the toolbox under /MyMatlab then this file will have the lines:
'/MyMatlab/toolbox/NAG/mex.glx:' ...
'/MyMatlab/help/toolbox/NAG:' ...
inserted. If the user
chooses not to have their path modified then there are a number of ways
in which this may be done by hand. Search for "matlab path" in the MATLAB
online help system for one method, and for pointers to several others.
If updating by hand then it is essential to ensure that the directory
containing the help files appears after that containing the executable files.
For example, if the user installs the toolbox under /MyMatlab
then their MATLAB path should contain the directories:
If the user chooses to modify their MATLAB script during installation then the file bin/matlab in the MATLAB distribution will have the lines:
# Inserted during installation of NAG Toolbox for 32 bit Linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/MyMatlab/toolbox/NAG/mex.glx:$LD_LIBRARY_PATHadded to it. If the user decides to modify their LD_LIBRARY_PATH by hand then a good approach is to edit the definition of LDPATH_PREFIX in the .matlab7rc file. The main reason that this is not the approach taken by the installation script is that MATLAB allows a user to over-ride the system-wide version with their own version(s) and so it is not possible reliably to install the toolbox for all users this way. The MATLAB documentation contains more information about the use of the .matlab7rc file.

mkdir nagtmp cd nagtmp tar -xzf ../mblux21dg.tgzIf you received the product on CD then simply insert it in your CD drive and, if necessary, mount the CD device (normally this will happen automatically).
Run the INSTALL script by typing "sh INSTALL". This will prompt you for the location in which you wish to install the product, which typically should be under your existing MATLAB installation. It is possible to install the product elsewhere but if you do so you will need to update your MATLAB path manually, as described in Section 3.1.
After installation, you should ensure that the software described in Section 3.1 is present and accessible.
If you have installed the help material, then on starting the MATLAB Help browser you should see the entry NAG Toolbox in the Contents list.
A quick test that the software has been correctly installed is to type s07aa(0) at the MATLAB prompt to calculate tan(0). This should return the answer 0.
To uninstall the software run the script UNINSTALL.glx which is created during installation and can be found in the directory toolbox/NAG, using the command
sh UNINSTALL.glx
Users who have installed an older library managed by the FLEXlm system will, however, need to obtain and install a Kusari 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:
FLL3A21DG 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 license.lic. For an uncounted license, the location of the license file must be made known to MATLAB by setting the environment variable NAG_KUSARI_FILE to the full pathname of the file before MATLAB is invoked. In what follows we will represent that full pathname as [INSTALL_DIR]/license.lic.
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_FILE
No 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, located in the license/doc subdirectory of the software distribution.
On-line documentation, accessible via the standard MATLAB help facilities, 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 MBLUX21DG).
