XL Fortran for AIX 8.1
User's Guide
To install the compiler, refer to these documents (preferably in this
order):
- Read any Memo to Users document that comes with
the compiler 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.
- Read the AIX Installation Guide to
understand the full procedure for installing optional software from the
distribution medium. This book provides good step-by-step instructions that should
answer all your questions and should help you to solve any installation problems.
If you are already experienced with AIX software installation, you can use
the installp or smit installp command to install all the
images from the distribution medium.
After successfully installing the product, read the file called
/usr/lpp/xlf/DOC/README.xlf, and follow any directions it
gives. It contains information that you should know and possibly
distribute to other people who use XL Fortran.
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 under /usr contain XL Fortran
components:
- /usr/bin contains the compiler invocation commands.
- /usr/lib contains the libraries.
- /usr/include contains the include files, some of which contain
definitions that XL Fortran uses.
- /usr/lib/nls/msg contains the message catalog files that XL
Fortran uses.
- /usr/lpp/xlfrtemsg contains the default message catalog files
that are used by XL Fortran programs.
- /usr/share/man/cat1 contains the compiler man pages.
- /usr/share/man/info/en_US/xlf/pdf contains the PDF format
of the XL Fortran publications.
- /usr/share/man/info/en_US/xlf/html contains the HTML format
of the XL Fortran publications.
- /usr/lpp/xlf contains all other commands and files that the
compiler needs.
You must also copy the /etc/xlf.cfg file from the server
to the client. The /etc directory contains the configuration
files specific to a machine, and it should not be mounted from the
server.
