This message contains all the information you need to get started. IMPORTANT NOTE: The software described here is furnished under terms of a Beta Test License Agreement. If you did not read and agree to the license terms shown at http://www.digital.com/fortran/linux/beta-register.html, then do not download the software. Do not provide the download location or copies of the software to others - all who download the software must agree to our license terms and register with us. Compaq Fortran for Linux Alpha Systems and associated software is provided in a form installable by the RedHat Package Manager (RPM). If you are using the Debian distribution, please skip to the special "Debian" section below. For ease of downloading, the software is divided into components, some of which must be installed together. To download, use the URLs provided below. If you are using a standalone FTP client, once connected to ftp.digital.com, you must "cd" to the target directory all at once - it will not work to go down one level at a time! Compaq Fortran compiler - Required: ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cfal-1.0-3.alpha.rpm Compaq Fortran language run-time libraries - Required: ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cfalrtl-1.0-3.alpha.rpm Compaq language-independent compiler support library - Required: ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/libots-2.2.6-1.alpha.rpm Compaq Portable Math Library - Required - Choose one: Optimized for Alpha EV6 (21264) processors - will not run on older Alpha processor types: ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cpml_ev6-0.2-2.alpha.rpm For EV4, EV5 and EV56 (will run on EV6) processors: ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cpml_ev5-0.2-2.alpha.rpm Compaq Ladebug debugger - Optional, but strongly recommended: ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/ladebug-4.0.55-4.alpha.rpm Compaq Extended Math Library, a library of technical and scientific subroutines - Optional Optimized for Alpha EV6 (21264) processors - will not run on older Alpha processor types: ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cxml_ev6-0.1-1.alpha.rpm For EV4, EV5 and EV56 (will run on EV6) processors: ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cxml_ev5-0.1-1.alpha.rpm Installation instructions ------------------------- The software packages are installed using the RedHat Package Manager. Because some packages are dependent on others, they must be installed in the following order: libots cpml_ev5 or cpml_ev6 cfalrtl cfal ladebug (optional) cxml (optional) To do this, use the following commands: > rpm -i libots-2.2.6--1.alpha.rpm > rpm -i cpml_ev5-0.2-2.alpha.rpm (or rpm-i cpml_ev6-0.2-2.alpha.rpm) > rpm -i cfalrtl-1.0-3.alpha.rpm > rpm -i cfal-1.0-3.alpha.rpm > rpm -i ladebug-4.0.55-4.alpha.rpm > rpm -i cxml_ev5-0.1-1.alpha.rpm (or rpm-i cxml_ev6-0.1-1.alpha.rpm) You may also, if you choose, name all of the packages in a single rpm command. If you do this, the libots package MUST appear in the list before the cpml package - the order of the others doesn't matter. Please skip down to "Use instructions" below. Special instructions for Debian users ------------------------------------- The "alien" tool, which is used by Debian distribution users to convert RPM kits for installation, cannot deal properly with the dependency information in our kits. As a special service to beta test users, we have obtained repackaged "deb" versions of our RPM kits. We do not intend to provide "deb" files for the final product - we hope to have some alternative solution in place. For ease of downloading, the software is divided into components, some of which must be installed together. To download, use the URLs provided below.

You may also use individual dpkg commands, but make sure that libots is installed first. Use instructions ---------------- The Fortran compiler command name is "fort" - the driver will automatically supply the correct libraries. Documentation ------------- Use "man fort" to read about the fort command. Read /usr/doc/cfal-1.0/README for descriptions of what things are different from our Tru64 UNIX (DIGITAL UNIX) compiler. Documentation on the Tru64 UNIX compiler can be found at http://www.digital.com/fortran/docs CXML documentation is at /usr/doc/cxml-0.1/webpages/cxml_home_page.html Support ------- Support for this Beta Test software is provided through special arrangement with the University of New Hampshire at the following web site: http://www.iol.unh.edu/linux/alpha/development Please use this web site ONLY for support questions. Support is not available through other Compaq Fortran support channels. If you have general comments on the Compaq Fortran for Linux Alpha Systems beta test program, please use the "Send Feedback" page at http://www.digital.com/fortran/linux/feedback.html (support is not available through the Feedback page.) We hope that you will give the software a real workout. We will contact you periodically and ask for your opinions of the software. Thanks. Compaq Fortran Engineering
