The NAG C 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 f07, f08 and f16 in the NAG Mark 24 Library Manual, which we will refer to as the Library Manual).
The libnagc_spl.a and libnagc_spl.so.24 object libraries were tested using the SPARC-specific BLAS/LAPACK routines in the (optional) Sun Performance Library; see Section 4 (a) of the Users' Note for details of which routines were used.

gunzip clsol24dc.tgz tar xvf clsol24dc.tarThis will extract the files install.sh, cl24.tar, lic_agr.txt, in.html and un.html.
If you have downloaded the Library Manual as a tar gzip file (cl24_doc.tgz) run the command
gunzip cl24_doc.tgzto extract the file cl24_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, you may choose a different location. In this document we refer to the directory /opt/NAG/clsol24dc or /usr/local/NAG/clsol24dc as [INSTALL_DIR]. This convention is also used 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, Section 3.2. Subsequent to the installation, if you move this product 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 create symbolic links in 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 install script can install the Library Manual in the same location as the NAG Library material or at some other location of your choice.
You may wish to move the Library Manual to the same location as that for other NAG products. You are encouraged to make it readily available to users.
Advice on accessing the library (see Users' Note, Section 3.1) can be checked by running a few example programs following that advice; a suitable sample would be d01sjc, f07adc and g05sjc. The installation can also be tested using the scripts nagc_example* (see Users' Note, Section 3.2).
The Users' Note (doc/un.html) should then be made available to users directly, or be absorbed into local access information.
The following material should also be made accessible to users:
documentation files:
The nagdoc_cl24 directory contains the Library Manual.
compiled libraries:
libnagc_nag.a libnagc_nag.so (symbolic link pointing at libnagc_nag.so.24) libnagc_spl.a libnagc_spl.so (symbolic link pointing at libnagc_spl.so.24)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.
The NAG Technical Support Service is available for general enquiries from all users and also for technical queries from sites with an annually licensed product or support service.
The technical support desks are open during office hours, but contact is possible by email and phone (answering machine) at all times.
When contacting us, it helps us deal with your enquiry quickly if you can quote your NAG customer reference number and NAG product code (in this case CLSOL24DC).
