Installing the IMSL Fortran Library for UNIX/Linux
1. Executing the install program
With an installation CD
Insert the CD and mount the device. You may need administrative
rights to do this. The command may be different depending on your
operating system.
- Mount the CD. This differs by operating system; some examples:
Sun Solaris: auto mount
IBM AIX: % mount rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom
RedHat Linux: auto mount
- Create the installation target directory: % mkdir /usr/local/vni
- Start the installation program: % /cdrom/imsl/install/cd_install
With downloaded files
Confirm you have the appropriate tar file for the hardware platform
and operating system. The <tarfile> in the following commands will
have a name like fnl60solaris64.tar. For this example, /usr/local/vni
will be used as the installation target directory, but can be any
valid directory. Execute the following commands from the directory
that contains the downloaded archive:
% mkdir /usr/local/vni
% mv <tarfile> /usr/local/vni
% cd /usr/local/vni
% tar xf <tarfile>
% tar xf install.tar
% imsl/install/ftp_install
