Setting Up and Customizing <strong>XL</strong> <strong>Fortran</strong><br />

This section explains how to customize <strong>XL</strong> <strong>Fortran</strong> settings <strong>for</strong> yourself or all users<br />

and how to set up a user account to use <strong>XL</strong> <strong>Fortran</strong>. The full installation procedure<br />

is beyond the scope of this section, which refers you to the documents that cover<br />

the procedure in detail.<br />

This section can also help you to diagnose problems that relate to installing or<br />

configuring the compiler.<br />

Some of the instructions require you to be a superuser, and so they are only<br />

applicable if you are a system administrator.<br />

Where to Find Installation Instructions<br />

To install the compiler, refer to these documents (preferably in this order):<br />

1. Read the file called /usr/lpp/xlf/DOC/README.FIRST, and follow any<br />

directions it gives. It contains in<strong>for</strong>mation that you should know and possibly<br />

distribute to other people who use <strong>XL</strong> <strong>Fortran</strong>.<br />

2. Read any Installation <strong>Guide</strong> document that comes with the compiler to see if<br />

there are any important notices you should be aware of or any updates you<br />

might need to apply to your system be<strong>for</strong>e doing the installation.<br />

3. Read the <strong>AIX</strong> Installation <strong>Guide</strong> to understand the full procedure <strong>for</strong> installing<br />

optional software from the distribution medium. This document provides good<br />

step-by-step instructions that should answer all your questions and should help<br />

you to solve any installation problems.<br />

If you are already experienced with <strong>AIX</strong> software installation, you can use the<br />

installp or smit installp command to install all the images from the<br />

distribution medium.<br />

Using the Compiler on a Network File System<br />

If you want to use the <strong>XL</strong> <strong>Fortran</strong> compiler on a Network File System server <strong>for</strong> a<br />

networked cluster of machines, use the Network Install Manager.<br />

The following directories under /usr contain <strong>XL</strong> <strong>Fortran</strong> components:<br />
