Jive3D release 1.1 - Installation instructions Copyright (C) J.W.D. Hobro 1997, 2000 To install Jive3D, first obtain the archive Jive3D1.1.tar.gz, decompress it with: gunzip Jive3D1.1.tar.gz and expand the archive: tar xvf Jive3D1.1.tar Go into the src directory: cd Jive3D1.1/src and edit the Makefile. You will need to set the three flags at the top of this file for your system. F90 is the name of the Fortran 90 compiler to use FLAGS contains any compilation flags required (e.g. for optimisation). Optimisation compilation flags can improve run times by a factor of 2 or more. If compiling with optimisation options, however, check that the optimised executables do not generate unstable results by comparing them with results generated by unoptimised executables. LINK_LAPACK is the compilation flag used to link in the LAPACK routines, which may vary from system to system (check the LAPACK documentation for your system) Typical values of the flags are as follows: F90 = f90 FLAGS = -O3 LINK_LAPACK = -llapack Once you have set these flags in the Makefile, compile the executables: make all This makes each utility in turn and places the executables in the directory "Jive3D1.1/bin". The only utility that requires LAPACK during linking ("calcerr") is last in the list, so if this fails to link properly, all the other executables will be generated successfully. Copy the executables from Jive3D1.1/bin to a directory somewhere in the default system path (e.g. /usr/local/bin ). Finally, clean up the temporary files produced during compilation with make clean The scripts provided for plotting the output from Jive3D are in the directory Jive3D1.1/scripts . These scripts contain flags that may be edited during use, so they must be copied into the working directory when Jive3D is being used. Jive3D has been compiled and tested in the folowing environments: Linux: Pacific-Sierra Research vf90 Version 3.4 SunOS: WorkShop F90 Compiler 4.2 10/22/96 FORTRAN 90 1.2 IRIX: MIPSpro F90 compiler (Ragnarok Compilers): Version 6.2 IRIX: MIPSpro 7 F90 Compiler: Version 7.3.1.1m
