News:
=====
Built on Redhat 7.3 with gcc3.2 and tested succesfully on Redhat 8.0.

The last mathlib test (V700) "hangs" on Redhat 7 and Redhat 8, but not with
gcc 2.95 and gcc 2.96, so it is likely to be a gcc 3 compiler problem.
Traceback suggests it might be in the test program.

End news.
=========

libgeant321.a has been compiled at low optimisation (-O0).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------  

The installation has been made using the operating system based on Redhat 7.3
with the gcc 3.2 compiler set, i.e.- Linux 2.4.20-18.7.cernsmp #1.
Note this is not the default gcc delivered with Redhat 7 systems which is 2.96.

Compilers / Libraries:
 g77  : GNU Fortran (GCC 3.2) 3.2 20020814
 gcc  : gcc (GCC) 3.2
  (obtained with gcc --version and g77 --version )

 Binutils (ld -V) : GNU ld version 2.11.93.0.2 20020207
 libc ( ls -l /lib/libc.so.6 ) : libc-2.2.5.so
 
This release uses "industry standard" tools --
imake, gmake, makedepend and cpp (C preprocessor).

 Compiler options used:

   in general :
 g77 -c -O -fno-automatic -fno-second-underscore -fugly-complex 
     -DCERNLIB_LINUX -DCERNLIB_UNIX -DCERNLIB_LNX -DCERNLIB_QMGLIBC
 gcc -c -O1 -fomit-frame-pointer -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO
    -DCERNLIB_LINUX -DCERNLIB_UNIX -DCERNLIB_LNX -DCERNLIB_QMGLIBC

However, compilation options differ for some packages and individual
routines; all details are documented in the Imakefiles.

In particular, geant321 uses the additional flag -DCERNLIB_BLDLIB, and has been
compiled at low optimisation (-O0). I.e.
 cd build/geant321
 gmake install.lib FDEBUGFLAGS=-O0

Packlib and pawlib were built using OpenMotif Version 2.2.2.

stdhep is v5_01.

If you want to rebuild some parts please consult the README file for the
sources, and the installation guide available at

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Downloading and Installing the tar files on your machine
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 
You  should "get" the files in binary mode into a temporary directory.  Use 
plitar as available from this directory to unpack the files.

The contents of each compressed tar file is documented in the corresponding
.contents file; e.g. for the cernlib.tar.gz, you should check the file
cernlib.contents.
 
All files with names ending in .gz have been compressed using gzip; The gzip
utilities gzip/gunzip/zcat are available in this directory both as normal files
and as a tar file. If you do not have gzip please take this tar file and untar
it prior to using plitar.
