Where to find installation instructions
To install the compiler, refer to these documents (preferably in this order):
- Read the file called /opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/doc/en_US/README, and follow any
directions it gives. It contains information that you should know and possibly
distribute to other people who use XL Fortran.
- Read the XL Fortran Installation Guide to see if there are any important notices
you should be aware of or any updates you might need to apply to your system
before doing the installation.
- You should be familiar with the RPM Package Manager
(RPM) for installing this product. For information on using RPM, visit the
RPM Web page at URL http://www.rpm.org/, or type rpm --help at the command line.
If you are already
experienced with Linux software installation, you can use the rpm command to install all the images from the distribution medium.
Using the compiler on a network file System
If you want to use the XL Fortran compiler on a Network File System server
for a networked cluster of machines, use the Network Install Manager.
The following directories contain XL Fortran components:
- /opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/bin contains
the compiler invocation commands.
- /opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/exe contains executables and files
that the compiler needs.
- /opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/lib and /opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/lib64 contain the non-redistributable
libraries.
- /opt/ibmcmp/lib/ and /opt/ibmcmp/lib64/ contain the redistributable libraries.
- /opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/include contains
the include files and supplied .mod files.
- /opt/ibmcmp/msg contains the message catalogues
for the redistribtable run-time libraries.
- /opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/doc/en_US/pdf contains the PDF format of the English XL Fortran publications.
/opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/doc/ja_JP/pdf contains the PDF format of
the Japanese XL Fortran publications.
- /opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/doc/en_US/html contains the HTML format of the English XL Fortran publications.
/opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/doc/ja_JP/html contains the HTML format
of the Japanese XL Fortran publications.
You must copy the /etc/opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1/xlf.cfg file
from the server to the client. The /etc/opt/ibmcmp/xlf/10.1 directory
contains the configuration files specific to a machine, and it should not
be mounted from the server.
