Installing NGSolve as Netgen Add-On

To install NGSolve together with Netgen, you have to obtain first both packages from www.hpfem.jku.at. The most up to date version is available via CVS checkout.

For this, you have to set a environment variable CVS_RSH . On a tcsh unix shell you enter

setenv CVS_RSH ssh
In a bash shell you enter
export CVS_RSH=ssh

Then you can checkout the sources from the Netgen server:

cvs -d :ext:netgen@thor.sfb013.uni-linz.ac.at:/cvs/netgen co netgen

This should give you the directory tree netgen. After that, change into netgen, and checkout ngsolve:

cvs -d :ext:netgen@thor.sfb013.uni-linz.ac.at:/cvs/netgen co ngsolve

You have to modify a makefile to compile and link NGSolve:

After that, you compile Netgen/NGSolve as you compile Netgen:

> cd netgen
> setenv MACHINE LINUX
> make

The make includes the machine dependent makefile libsrc/makefile.mach.$(MACHINE). Please set MACHINE to the environment most similar to yours.


This should give you the binary ng.
