4. Using the NAG Library with the Apple clang and GNU gcc and g++ compilers

This version of the NAG Library can be called from the Apple clang and GNU gcc and g++ compilers, using at least the versions of those compilers mentioned in the list above. The easiest way to do this is to modify the nagvars.sh and/or nagvars.csh scripts which are described in Section 3.1 of the Users' Note.

Specifically, in those scripts, make the following changes:

• Change the definition of variable NAGLIB_CC from icc to gcc
• Change the definition of variable NAGLIB_CXX from icpc to g++

With these changes, the nag_example script should work as described in the Users' Note but using the Apple or GNU compilers instead of Intel.
