Known BUGS in NEMO

13 April 1997

• SGI: (see also $NEMO/README)

      IRIX 6 doezn't appear to need -lbsd aymore, IRIX 5 still needs it?
      tabmath fails: no EOF on getc ?                                
      IRIX man cannot coexist with our MANPATH method?
      

• linux:

      On some machines (slackware3.1) -ldl is not found. You should look
      at $NEMOBIN/cc and change set link=lib/libdl.so.1; also you
      may need to add gnumalloc.so to that line if your malloc is bad.
      (see whatsnew (16 February 1997) for
      links to my patches. This would give you:
          set link="$NEMOLIB/gnumalloc.so /lib/libdl.so.1"
      Another fix is to fix the symlink in /lib:
  	ln -s /lib/libdl.so.1.7.14 /lib/libdl.so
      

• General:

      NEMO shared library: always needs a yapp (e.g. use yapp_null.o if you   
          link non-graphics program.  Examples
          Linux:
                cc -g -o prog prog.c $NEMOLIB/yapp_null.o -lnemo -lm
          Solaris:
                cc -g -o prog prog.c $NEMOLIB/yapp_null.o -lnemo -lm -R$NEMOLIB
  
      there is no f77 script, as opposed to a cc script. This means f77 code
      should not be added to shared libraries.
  
      (in e.g. rotcurves) a potential can only be loaded once. If you need to
      load it twice, make a copy from $NEMOOBJ/potential, and rename the
      object file e,g,
              cp $NEMOOBJ/potential/plummer.o plummer_1.o
      this works for C code, but not for most fortran code since they often
      use a common block to share data and share subroutine names that are
      public/global. Advice: stick to C.

• SGI: you need to install the following helper scripts:

  	cp $NEMO/src/scripts/make.sgi $NEMOBIN/make
  	cp $NEMO/src/scripts/ranlib.sgi $NEMOBIN/ranlib
      

• SGI: to compile yapp_gl with the native GL library:

          cd $NEMO/src/kernel/yapp
          /bin/make yapp_gl.o CFLAGS="-DSGI -g" 
          cp yapp_gl.o $NEMOLIB
      

  and add

          setenv YAPPLIB "$NEMOLIB/yapp_gl.o -lgl -lX11"
      

  to your NEMORC.local
• SGI: the 6th bodytrans in memory fails to load (e.g. default snapprint will fail). I suspect
• SGI: link order is important. For example snapplot doesn't compile in default, it needs:

          cc -o snapplot snapplot.c -lnemo  $YAPPLIB -lnemo -lm
      

  This is really annoying.

• On Solaris: ranlib isn't properly copied during bootstrap, to fix this:

          cp $NEMO/src/scripts/ranlib.sun5 $NEMOBIN/ranlib
          rehash
