DETAILED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR LINUX AND SUN The instructions below work on our College's Unix Suns. I have been told they also work under Linux. Make sure you have unzip (the DOS compatible non-GNU version) and the GNU Fortran compiler g77. Unzip the source code, making sure the subdirectories lib, util, chiral, coordmod, ... are being created. Get ranlib from netlib.org, put it in a separate directory, compile the subroutines using g77, and put the generated *.o files in a library ranlib.a using ar and ranlib. Move ranlib.a to the lib subdirectory using mv. Cd to the lib subdirectory. Compile argssun.f, congnu.f, and lib.f into argssun.o, congnu.o, and lib.o using 'g77 -c argsun.f', etc. Cd to ../util. Compile the fortran files using g77 as above. Cd to ../coordmod. Check that the makefile is using congnu.o and argssun.o that you just created. (It should be set that way already.) Execute 'make all' to make all coordinate tools, or 'make "tool"' to make tool "tool" Cd to ../chiral. Check the makefile. Execute 'make chiral2' to make the executable chiral2. Th executables made in the coordmod or chiral directories must be run through the con_shell script. For example: mkdir ../work cd ../work ../lib/con_shell ../chiral/chiral2 or, of course, ../lib/con_shell ../coordmod/"tool" Using con_shell allows for line editing and command line parameters. If line editing does not work, you can substitute the generic subroutines congen and argsgen for congnu and argssun everywhere in the above, including in the makefiles, and run the executables without con_shell.
