Your attention is drawn to the terms and conditions of the Software License regarding the use of NAG software. Any request to use this software other than on the licensed computer must be referred to NAG.
This implementation is a compiled, tested, ready-to-use version of the NAG C Library that is considered suitable for operation on the computer systems detailed below:
hardware: AMD Opteron operating system: Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) or compatible C compiler: Sun Studio 11 C Compiler, version 5.8 or compatible
This implementation was produced at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below:
hardware: AMD Opteron
operating system: Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10)
C compiler: Sun Studio 11 C Compiler, version 5.8
compiler options: -KPIC -mt -xtarget=opteron -fns -xlibmil -xO4
This implementation has been tested at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below:
hardware: AMD Opteron
operating system: Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10)
C compiler: Oracle Solaris Studio 12.2 C Compiler, version 5.9
The NAG C Library, Mark 9, was compiled with the highest level of optimization that enabled the functionality provided by the library to be verified and validated.
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, f08 and f16 in the NAG Mark 9 Library Manual, which we will refer to as the Library Manual).
The library has been also tested with the the Opteron-specific BLAS/LAPACK routines in the Sun Performance Library (SPL).

Library software: 243 MB Library Manual: 207 MB
If you have downloaded the Library materials from our web site as a tar gzip file (clsa309dcl.tgz), cd to the directory where the file is located and extract the installation materials using the following commands:
gunzip clsa309dcl.tgz tar xvf clsa309dcl.tarThis will extract the files install.sh, cl09.tar, lic_agr.txt, in.html and un.html.
If you have downloaded the Library Manual as a tar gzip file (cl09_doc.tgz) run the command
gunzip cl09_doc.tgzto extract the file cl09_doc.tar.
./install.shIf you are logged in as root then by default, the materials will be installed in /opt/NAG/ or /usr/local/NAG/ depending on your system. However, the installer may choose a different location. In this document we refer to the directory /opt/NAG/clsa309dcl or /usr/local/NAG/clsa309dcl as [INSTALL_DIR]. This convention is also used 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, section 3.2. Subsequent to the installation, if the installer moves the libraries to some other location then these scripts must be changed to reflect that fact.
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 vendor supplied BLAS and LAPACK.
To simplify access to the libraries you may wish to move the symbolic links to 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 include files may be moved to a directory such as /usr/include so that they can be accessed during compilation, e.g.
mv include/*.h /usr/include
The install script can install the Library Manual 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 Manual to the same location as that for other NAG products. You are encouraged to make the Manual readily available to users.
In order to enable the software, NAG will issue you with a license key. The license key is contained in a text file consisting of details of the software that will be enabled.
To request a license key, run the program khostid located in license/bin/solx86/. This utility must be run from a command prompt. Return the information that it displays, together with the product code (in this case CLSA309DCL), by e-mail (or FAX) to NAG. Alternatively, direct the output from this utility to a file and send both the file and the product code to NAG.
A short term (demonstration or trial) license key contains one or more lines like the following:
CLSA309DC TRIAL 2011/11/12 "EMnxidA3oeoj0F1Yvi5ibxPjB7"Specifically, it has a line containing the word TRIAL. Longer term 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.
Once you have obtained one of the above license keys, store the text of it in a file, say
[INSTALL_DIR]/license.lic.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_FILE
Further details about Kusari and how it may be configured to suit your local circumstances (e.g. how to install the license key on a server) are included in the Kusari License Management documentation in the license/doc/ subdirectory of the software distribution. See also the Kusari FAQ: http://www.nag.co.uk/Kusari/kusari_faq.html.
The following material should also be made accessible to users:
documentation files:
The nagdoc_cl09 directory contains the Library Manual.
compiled libraries:
libnagc_nag.a libnagc_nag.so (symbolic link pointing at libnagc_nag.so.09) libnagc_spl.a libnagc_spl.so (symbolic link pointing at libnagc_spl.so.09)Include files:
include/*.hexample program material:
examples/source/??????e.c examples/data/??????e.d examples/data/??????e.opt examples/results/??????e.r scripts/nagc_example*
Note that the example material has been adapted, if necessary, from that published in the Library Manual, so that programs are suitable for execution with this implementation with no further changes (but see Section 3.2 of the Users' Note 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. See Section 3.1 for the location of the online help files in HTML, PDF and XHTML formats.
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 or account no and NAG product code (in this case CLSA309DCL).
