2. Installation for unix
(1) From CDROM:
Connect to the distribution directory on the CD and type CDINSTALL.
E.g.
cd /cdrom/NAG_Fortran-amd64
./CDINSTALL
(2) From an internet distribution:
Unpack the gzipped tar file into an area with sufficient space.
install as per the CD distribution, e.g.
Connect to the distribution directory and type INSTALL.
E.g.
gunzip NAG_Fortran-amd64.tgz
tar xf NAG_Fortran-amd64.tar
cd NAG_Fortran-amd64
./INSTALL
(3) To run directly from CDROM or an unpacked tar distribution:
Connect to the distribution directory and type CDRUN.
E.g.
cd /cdrom/NAG_Fortran-amd64
./CDRUN
3. Machine-specific Details
Details of the product specific to each machine are given below. The
products were tested on the specified operating system version and so
should work on fully compatible later releases of the operating
system. Details are also given as to whether the runtime garbage
collector is supported and whether 128-bit reals are supported. Which
debugger is used and any restrictions have also been documented.
NPAMP52NA - Apple PowerPC Mac OS X 32 Bit
-----------------------------------------

128-bit reals: Yes
Debugger: dbx90
Licence management: Kusari 2.2
NPL6A52NA - AMD64/EM64T Linux glibc2.3 or compatible
----------------------------------------------
Machine: AMD x86_64 (Opteron) or Intel EM64T (Xeon)

Note: This implementation supports object sizes greater than 2 GB.
The default ABI of this version is incompatible with
previous releases. In order to generate code compatible
with 5.1(346) or earlier, please use the -abi=64 option.
(The -abi=64 option will be withdrawn in a future release
of NAG Fortran.) In order to run dynamic executables
linked with 5.1(346) or earlier, the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH must be set to ensure the compatible shareable
library is picked up from the subdirectory x86_64f of the
compiler lib directory, default /usr/local/lib/NAG_Fortran/x86_64f.
