I'm trying to use the Compaq/HP Extended Math Library? (CXML) on a DEC
Alpha under AXP Openvms 8.4 - Hobbyist License.
Fortran 8.2 and CXML were part of the Hobbyist distribution I downloaded.
CXML complains that FORRTL is not present or the version is too low, (it
is not present - $Product show product - )
What am I missing?
I haven't used CXML but I have done a lot of FORTRAN.
As far as I understand it, language specific runtime libraries including the
FORTRAN one come with the base operating system and do not normally show up
separately in $ PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT.
In VAX days, the relevant file was SYS$SHARE:FORRTL.EXE. On Alpha, it looks
likely to be SYS$SHARE:DEC$FORRTL.EXE, however, it may not be quite that
simple as there are also other translated images present which may be accessed
using a logical name - $ SHOW LOGICICAL *FORRTL*
Try writing a Hello World FORTRAN program. If that runs ok, your FORTRAN
runtime library is at least present and you probably need to concentrate on
finding a newer version.
If you have the extended message help installed, $ HELP /MESSAGE
may give you some helpful hints about whatever error message you are getting.
