We recommend using the make command to compile and link your programs with NAG libraries. This is easiest and does not require any additional UNIX environmental variables. It is illustrated in the Using Fortran 77 and NAG's Fortran Library document.
The use of make differs from the approach taken in the NAG
documentation. If you choose to follow the NAG procedure instead, you
must first set the environmental variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
with the
following command:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${NAG_DIR}:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
The NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology) web site provides another valuable information tool, the Guide to Available Mathematical Software (GAMS) server. The GAMS server helps you find documentation and examples for all FNL routines by name. It also has a decision tree that guides you to appropriate routines from NAG as well as other mathematical and statistical libraries.
Finally, HotGAMS, NIST's Java interface to GAMS, is accessible from any system that has a Java appletviewer installed. For example, from Strauss, you would type
appletviewer http://gams.nist.gov/HOTGAMS/HotGAMS.html &
