Installing Fiasco

To install FIASCO:

• Install the required third-party packages, FFTW and LaPACK (see previous page). If you install PVM, note the following:

  If PVM is installed properly the command "pvm" should give you the PVM daemon and console, type "halt" at the pvm prompt to end it. At the end of the PVM installation process the following variables should be set: PVM_ROOT should give the path to where PVM is installed; PVM_ARCH should be the value returned by the command: /lib/pvmgetarch

• Choose and cd to a directory where you want FIASCO to be installed.

• Download the FIASCO5.4.tar.gz plus any required patches from the Downloads section.

• Use the following command to unpack the tar file:
  gunzip -c Fiasco5.4.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
  This should create a subdirectory called Fiasco5.0 within the current directory.

• cd to the newly created Fiasco directory

• Apply any required patches using these instructions.
