installation of both NONMEM 7.2 and Phoenix WinNonLin 6.2

5 messages 5 people Latest: Nov 15, 2012
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.

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. William J.

Roger, I had the same issue with trying to get Phoenix and NONMEM to coexist peacefully (same versions as well). The solution was to put the pointers to nonmem and fortran directories at the head of the path: e.g. C:\nm72g\run;C:\Program Files (x86)\gfortran\libexec\gcc\i586-pc-mingw32\4.6.0;C:\Program Files (x86)\gfortran\bin. On installation, Phoenix puts its own directories first, and these apparently cause conflicts (possibly the libraries in PHSTMinGW\bin?). Anyway this appears to work, and both programs function properly. Best, Kevin Dykstra

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.

My (very kludgey) workaround is to temporarily rename the \PHSTMinGW directory (e.g. to \PHSTMinGWxxx ) prior to using NONMEM and then switch it back for Phoenix. Since I don't swap back and forth very frequently it works well enough for me. I'll try rearranging the paths as suggested. I did try consolidating the MinGW files for Phoenix and NONMEM but without success. (I am using gfortran for NONMEM 7.2 / PLT-Tools and default Phoenix 6.2 on WinXP 32-bit) All the very best, Bernard Bernard Murray, Ph.D. Drug Metabolism, Gilead Sciences
