[Nek5000-users] Download and running of nek5000

Dear Giacinto,

The maketools command should be issued from

~/nek5_svn/trunk/tools

where you would type:

  ./maketools     (since it appears that "." is not in your path)

Similarly, makenek should be issued from (say) one of the
examples directories.    It is normal to copy the makenek
script to the location where you will build and run the
example, so that makenek and SIZE are in the same directory,
along with the .usr, .rea files, etc.

I hope this helps.

Paul Fischer
