RE: installation of both NONMEM 7.2 and Phoenix WinNonLin 6.2
An alternative is to use the self-install versions of NONMEM for Windows using
gfortran that Bill and I have provided, which are located at:
ftp://nonmem.iconplc.com/Public/nonmem720
32 bit:
NONMEM720_gfortran460.exe
README_NONMEM720_gfortran460.exe
64 bit:
NONMEM720_64gfortran463.exe
Installation_Instructions_NONMEM720_64gfortran463.txt
These versions will produce desktop icons, which when clicked, will provide a
command window with the appropriate environments for NONMEM.

Yes, Pheonix install is not nice and messes up the NONMEM install. Pheonix
uses g77, I believe, which sets a global "LIBRARY_PATH" (which gfortran does
not need). If gfortran finds a LIBRARY_PATH, it will use it, find the g77
LIBRARY_PATH and mess up the compilation of NONMEM with gfortran.
You can test this theory by setting LIBRARY_PATH to a null value from the
command line:
c:> set LIBRARY_PATH=""
Then try the NONMEM installation with SETUP72 and it should succeed. You will
need a permanent way to set and unset LIBRARY_PATH to go between NONMEM and
Phoenix.

Subject: [NMusers] installation of both NONMEM 7.2 and Phoenix WinNonLin 6.2
Dear Nonmem users,
Recently we have tried to install Nonmem 7.2 on a Dell Precision T5500, 12 core
Xeon running windows 7 Pro SP1 in 64 bit mode.
We used the workaround posted on the archive by William Bachman on Wed, 9 May
2012.
Nonmem did however not compile using the gfortran 4.6.0. compiler, nor using
gfortran 4.6.3.
Variables were set as follows:
LIBRARY_PATH C:\Program Files (x86)\gfortran\lib
PATH C:\Program Files
(x86)\gfortran\libexec\gcc\i586-pc-mingw32\4.6.0;
C:\Program Files (x86)\gfortran\bin;
TEMP %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
TMP %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
On the computer Phoenix WinNonLin 6.2 was pre-installed.
This included the MPICH2 software for multiple CPU and CPU core processing.
Phoenix does add strings to the system environment variables.
Unfortunately, I don't have these available (or a screenshot) to share anymore.
After de-installation of Phoenix 6.2 and MPICH2, the compilation of Nonmem went
smoothly.
Apparently, the presence of Phoenix software (including references in the
environment variables for Phoenix) in our case, prevented adequate installation
of Nonmem.
Has anybody experienced similar problems?
If so, can you advice me on a workaround enabling co-installation of both
NonMem and Phoenix WinNonLin on a single machine?
Many thanks for the input.
