Computer and compiler questions

Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 12:46:38 +0200 From: José Javier Zarate <jzarate@unav.es> Subject: Computer and compiler questions Dear all I have been commited by I. Fernández de trocóniz (the NONMEM license owner) the purchase of a workstation for pharmacokinetik analysis. After different studies we have chosen an Alpha machine running Linux. Well, as the manuals say very little we would be very pleased if any of you could send any information to do the task of installing and running NONMEM under Alpha/Linux. Any tips or tricks will be appreciated. Equally if any of you has any opinions about wich compilers are best to do the task or wich distribution of Linux does a better job (faster, more stable...) we would be very pleased to know. First of all we would need information about the different compilers available under Linux/Alpha and uitable to the task. It appears that Compaq has released a Fortran compiler for Alpha/Linux and also new math libraries, any experiences, thoughts or comments? We are equally thinking about buying a DOS licence, but before doing that we would like to know about the different compilers suitable to do the task under Windos/DOS. What is available, wich produces faster results and that kind of things. Thanking you for your attention -- JJ Zarate Departamento de Farmacia y Tecnologia Farmaceutica http://www.unav.es/farmacia/dptos/farmytec/index.htm
