Downloading and Installing the Hibridon© Package
Version 4.1, release 5 of the Hibridon©
package is now available for the following
machines:
- IBM RS/6000 workstations running under AIX 3.2.5, 4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.2, 4.3
- Fortran Compilers: xlf 3.2, 4.1, 7.1
- HP 9000 series workstations running under HPUX 10.01, 10.2, 11.0
- DEC Alpha workstations running under OSF 3.2
- SGI workstations running under IRIX 5.2
Version 4.1.5 will no longer be maintained on a regular basis
You can obtain a copy of Hibridon 4.1.5 as
a g'zipped tar
archive
in binary format (1.6 MB)
Version 4.2 of the Hibridon© package
is now available for the following machines:
- Apple G4 and G5 workstations running under OSX 10.3 (Panther)
- IBM RS/6000 workstations running under AIX 4.3
- Fortran Compiler: xlf 7.1
You can obtain a copy of Hibridon 4.2 as
a g'zipped tar
archive
in binary format (1.6 MB)
After you have obtained the g'zipped archive, follow
these steps:
- Create a main hibridon directory. We shall designate this
here as hib4X (or hib42), although you can give it any name you want.
- Move the g'zipped tar archive into this directory
- Uncompress and unpack the tar archive
gunzip hibrid.tar.gz |tar xvf -
The Hibridon© hypertext help facility (a copy of the help facility you are reading
here) is contained in the
directory , where "X" = 4.1 or 4.2. The initial target file for
your web browser should be
hib4X/doc/hib_html/index.html
Extend your PATH environmental variable to include the bin subdirectory
of your main hibridon directory, that is hib4X/bin
Read the license agreement. If you do not accept all provisions of this agreement,
stop
here and
destroy the software. If you accept the license
agreement, please read
the instructions for acknowledgement of the code in any future publications
from your group that use the Hibridon© package.
cd to the subdirectory hib4X/bin.
Execute the command This creates a number
of local configuration files. You will be asked if you accept the license. Respond
"yes" if you accept, otherwise destroy the software.
Execute the command
This compiles all the
hibridon© source code and creates the on-line executable hib4X/bin/hib_help.
The file hib4X/obj.log contains a log of the compilation, in case
of failure.
To obtain help at any time you can either
- Execute the command hib_help and follow instructions.
- Use a Web Browser, preferably one that can interpret the frames
feature of Netscape 2.0, to read the Hibridon© HTML help library. You
can obtain this as a compressed .tar archive by
clicking here.
Test your code by executing the command
which runs a series of test calculations. After the tests are run, the results are saved
in the directory hib4X/testnew. All files in this directory should be compared
with the canonical results, which are stored in the directory hib4X/tests.
You should agree with these results to within at least 6 significant figures.
You are now ready to link and run your
own code for your particular scattering problem. Use one of the
potential subroutines in the directory hib4X/src/pot as a guide for writing
your own. You will certainly find it helpful to consult the Basis and
Systems help files.
Good luck!
Please report
all bugs that you may find. They will (hopefully) be eliminated in a timely
manner.
