980825 The NAG Double Precision Fortran Library Mark 18 has been built and installed for these and compatible platforms: IRIX-IP22-5.3 (original implementation mips1 and mips2) IRIX64-IP25-6.2 (mips3 and mips4) IRIX64-IP27-6.5 (mips3 and mips4) SunOS-sun4m-4.1.3 SunOS-sun4m-4.1.3_U1 SunOS-sun4m-5.5.1 SunOS-sun4u-5.5.1 SunOS-sun4u-5.6 The archive libraries were built using version FLSG518DA (Silicon Graphics IRIX 5) source code. They have been verified against the NAG test suite. The distribution is located in /itl/apps/naglib-18. The libraries are accessible through /itl/links/generic/{lib lib32 lib64} and are named with the Mark number, that is libnag18.a libnagblas18.a For users outside the cam network, please refer to the following URL for instructions on mounting the /itl tree. http://www.cam.nist.gov/sw/remote-access.html Please contact the Scientific Applications Support Group's consulting lab on extension 2968 with any question you may have.

Look under _Service_ on this page for 'Scientific and Visualization Software Resources.' We have the contacts listed for 'off site technical support' as well as a comment form if you want to send us comments concerning the software packages. ---- IRIX ---- The distribution contains archives with and without the standard NAG BLAS and LAPACK routines for IRIX versions 5.3 and 6.2 and lower. The IRIX 6.5 distribution does contain the standard NAG BLAS and LAPACK routines. There is no IRIX 6.5 version using SGI BLAS and LAPACK. To access the standard NAG BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, use f77 -L/itl/links/generic/lib??/mips? -lnagblas18 ... To access the BLAS and LAPACK routines supplied by Silicon Graphics in the complib.sgimath (assumed to be installed in /usr/lib), use f77 -lcomplib.sgimath -L/itl/links/generic/lib??/mips? -lnag18 ... Make the appropriate substitutions for the directory name in the "-L" directory operand, that is lib?? is either lib, lib32, or lib64 mips? is either mips1, mips2, mips3, or mips4. ----- SunOS ----- The archive libraries contain the standard NAG BLAS and LAPACK routines. To access the library use f77 -lnag18 ... -------------------- Online documentation -------------------- Users should review the files "users.note" and "essint" in /itl/apps/naglib-18/docs/doc.sgi.sun. Please bear in mind that references to archive library names in these files should be replaced by the ITL implementation names stated above, namely libnag18.a and libnagblas18.a for IRIX and libnag18.a for SunOS. ------------------- Textware and NAG 17 ------------------- NAG LIB Mark 17 with the Textware help system remain as originally installed for SunOS systems. Darcy Barnett 000410 The NAG Double Precision Fortran Library Mark 18 for Linux (FLLUX18DG) has been installed in /itl/apps/naglib-18. This library is a comprehensive collection of Fortran routines for the solution of numerical and statistical problems. This implementation is considered suitable for the computer systems detailed below: hardware: Intel 386, 486, Pentium or compatible PCs operating system: Linux 2.0.32 (RedHat 5.0) and compatible Fortran compiler: g77 version 0.5.19.1 and compatible The object library is accessible from /itl/links/generic/lib libnag.a Users should review the following files in http://www.cam.nist.gov/itl/apps/naglib-18/docs/doc.linux/ essint - the Essential Introduction to the NAG Fortran Library summary - a brief summary of the routines news - an outline of the new and enhanced routines available at Mark 18 replaced - a list of routines available at earlier Marks of the Library but since withdrawn, together with recommended replacements calls - a list of routines called directly or indirectly by each routine in the library, and by each example program called - for each routine in the library (including auxiliaries), a list of routines and example programs which call it directly or indirectly The man page "nag_fl_un" provides similar information. Example material is available at http://www.cam.nist.gov/itl/apps/naglib-18/docs/examples.linux For users outside the cam network, please refer to the following URL for instructions on mounting the /itl tree. http://www.cam.nist.gov/sw/remote-access.html Please contact the Scientific Applications and Visualization Group's consulting lab on extension 2968 with any question you may have.
