[Nek5000-users] genbox compiling problems

[nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov]

Hi Harish,

go to nek5_svn/trunk

then

svn update tools

then try to edit / run maketools again with gfortran

For a prenek manual, you might look at the (very dated) manual

  www.mcs.anl.gov/~fischer/nekmanual.pdf

and also:
