The full Unix distribution contains source code, Makefiles, User Guide, benchmarks, and copyright statement.
Save the tar file in a fresh subdirectory on your system. To install, first type
gunzip PCx.tar.gz
to produce a file PCx.tar. (If your system doesn't have the gunzip utility, you'll need to install it. Then, type
tar xvf PCx.tar
Finally, type
./build
to create the executable PCx.
In some Linux environments, we have found it necessary to define the environment variable FC to point to the fortran compiler in use (typically f77 or g77), before running build.A sample specifications file and some test problems are included in the source distribution (subdirectory mps). Sample problems can be executed by typing
PCx afiro
or
PCx 25fv47
The all C version of the distribution file is useful for machines with no fortran compiler.
