DATE: November 2011 To install the LAPACK documentation, do the following: 1) Download the LAPACK package, install doxygen on your machine and do a % make man Note: If you do not have Doxygen on your mahcine, you can download directly a tgz of the manpages at http://netlib.org/lapack/#_manpages 2) Copy the LAPACK manual pages to the desired location. This will probably be /usr/local/man/manl or other.dir/man/manl. % cp man/man3/* /usr/local/man/man3 Be aware that if the manpages are installed in some directory other than /usr/local/man/manl you will need to add that directory to your MANPATH environment variable. First type: % echo $MANPATH If it says that MANPATH is undefined, type: % setenv MANPATH /usr/man:/usr/local/man:/user_path/man_dir Otherwise, if MANPATH is defined, type: % setenv MANPATH ${MANPATH}:/user_path/man_dir where man_dir is the directory of manual pages containing /man/manl. ('%' is assumed to be your shell prompt.) 3) Add the LAPACK manual pages to the whatis database for keyword searching via 'man -k': % catman -w -M /usr/local/man or % catman -w -M other.dir/man 4) Test out the installation. First make sure your current shell knows about the installation: % rehash Now test out the manual pages: % man dgetrf.f or % man DGETRF You should get the man page for dgetrf. If you have any comments/suggestions, please direct them to lapack@cs.utk.edu. Regards, Julie Langou
