Nexus 41 Release Notes¶

System Requirements¶

MXML XML Parsing Library

Version 2.2.2 or higher of mxml is required. Earlier versions have a bug and the XML API will not work. This package can be downloded in both source and binary rpm form and is also available as part of Fedora Extras. IMPORTANT NOTE: Debian also provides the mxml package, but it based on 2.0 and will not work properly.

Building Notes¶

NAG F90/F95 Compiler¶

The NAG compiler needs the -mismatch flag to be specified or else it will not compile NXmodule.f90 This is achieve by running configure with the FCFLAGS environment variable set to contain the flag e.g.

env FCFLAGS="-mismatch" ./configure --with-f90=f95

HDF4 on Intel Macs¶

There is a problem with the include file, hdfi.h (normally in /usr/local/include). See http://coastwatch.noaa.gov/helparc/software/msg00069.html for details of the modifications necessary to fix it.

New Features¶
