These are the installation modifications to get MDX working on Suse Linux 10.0 on an x86-64bit machine.
For a description on how to use MDX go here.
Installation assumes:
- You have obtained a legal copy of MDX (version 173?) from JPL/CalTech. Contact softwarerelease jpl.nasa.gov for more information. Please, do not contact me for a copy of this software.
- You have installed both the gcc and g77 compilers, as well as gnu make.
Steps
- mv the installation file mdx_NTR_*.tar to the appropriate compilation/installation directory
% mkdir /usr/local/MDX
% mv mdx_NTR_*.tar /usr/local/MDX
% cd /usr/local/MDX
- untar program package, and go to compilation directory
% tar xvf mdx_NTR_*.tar
% cd mdx_173_73
- rename mdx.F to mdx.f. My compiler is not happy with a large cap .F extension.
mv mdx.F mdx.f
- Edit mdx.f to remove all #ifdefIO64 options, since this didn't work for me. To do this open the file in your
favorite editor and search out all occurrences of #ifdef. For each one remove the definitions as well as all lines of text
between #else and #endif, inclusive. This forces the program to assume you have 64-bit architecture.
- Modify the makefile 'Makemdx_g77' for X11R6/lib64 and mdx.f (small caps), such that the new lines read:
XLIB = -L/sw/lib -lXm -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lXt -lX11
mdx.o : mdx.f
$(FC) $(FFLAGS) -c mdx.f
- now compile using make
% make -f Makemdx_g77
After a bout 10 seconds and a few warnings (graphx_mdx.c:????: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size),
I had a compiled version of mdx in my current directory.
- Link it to a directory in you path
% cd /usr/local/bin
% ln -s /usr/local/MDX/mdx_173_73/mdx
You should be up and running.
