This implementation is a compiled, tested, ready-to-use version of the NAG Fortran Library that is considered suitable for operation on the computer systems detailed below:
hardware: Intel-based Mac 64-bit systems operating system: Mac OS X version 10.7.4 [lion, DARWIN VERSION 11.4.2] and compatible Fortran compiler: Intel(R) Fortran Intel(R) 64, Version 13.0.2.171 (Composer XE 2013) and compatiblePlease note:
This implementation was produced at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below:
hardware: Apple Mac mini 5.1 - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 operating system: Mac OS X version 10.7.4 (Lion) Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2 Fortran compiler: Intel(R) Fortran Intel(R) 64 Compiler XE 2013 for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 13.0.2.171 Build 20130314
This implementation has been tested at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing systems detailed below:
hardware: Apple Mac mini 5.1 - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 operating system: Mac OS X version 10.8.1 (Mountain Lion) Darwin Kernel Version 12.3.0 Fortran compiler: Intel(R) Fortran Intel(R) 64 Compiler XE 2013 for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 13.0.0.088 Build 20120731and
hardware: Apple MacPro4.1 - 2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon operating system: Mac OS X version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0 Fortran compiler: Intel(R) Fortran Intel(R) 64 Compiler XE 2011 for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 12.0.5.209 Build 20110719The NAG Fortran Library, Mark 24, 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 PACKage (LAPACK) routines provided by NAG (see the Chapter Introductions for F06, F07, F08 and F16 in the NAG Mark 24 Library Manual, which we will refer to as the Library Manual).
The library has also been tested with the Intel ® Math Kernel Library 11.0 Update 3 for Mac OS X supplied as part of the Intel composer_xe_2013.3.171 Compiler XE 13.0 Update 2 for Mac OS X. The required libraries of the Math Kernel Library (MKL) are supplied as a part of this product (see Section 3.1). Please see the Intel website for further information about MKL (https://software.intel.com/intel-mkl).

libnag_mkl.a and libnag_mkl.dylib do not contain the NAG versions of the BLAS and LAPACK routines.

The files require approximately the following disk space:
Library software: 875 MB Library Manual: 240 MB
By default, the Library Software will be installed in /opt/NAG/. In this document we refer to the directory /opt/NAG/flmi624dcl as [INSTALL_DIR].
The directory [INSTALL_DIR] is referenced in the Users' Note (un.html).
The directory [INSTALL_DIR]/scripts contains several 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 install the Library manual, double click on "NAG Fortran Library Manual, Mark 24.pkg".
By default, the Library Manual will be installed in /opt/NAG/. You are encouraged to make it readily available to users.
A short term (demonstration or trial) license key contains one or more lines like the following:
FLMI624DC TRIAL 2013/05/06 "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.
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.
License key request and installation is performed through the Apple Installer when flmi624dcl.pkg is installed. During installation, you will be prompted for a license key. If you do not have a license key, a request form will be generated for you to complete and send to NAG via fax or e-mail.
Once you have obtained one of the above license keys it MUST be installed by running the license installer LicenseInstaller. By default, the license installer will save the license key in /opt/NAG/nag.key (prepends the file if it exists). The Library will then validate the license at runtime.
If you need to update or change the license key after installation, we recommend that you run the license installer again.
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_fl24 directory contains the Library Manual.
compiled libraries:
libnag_nag.a libnag_nag.dylib libnag_mkl.a libnag_mkl.dylib MKL libraries supplied by NAGinterface block files:

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 3.3 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.
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.
