Besides google'ing your brains out, you could try "man sgimath" to get
more info...

I can't even try that until I get to work tomorrow at the earliest, but if
it's truly not installed then "man ..." would bring up nothing.

Does anyone know anything aobout this library (complib.sgimathn)?

Yep, for sure, if it's not installed you won't find it... BUT: google is
there for you, it's OK to get a head start while waiting for someone
to come up with the answer... ;-)

This library doesn't seem to exist, even in sgi's own tech pub library.

The magic is to search in tech pubs for
complib

The top 2 items give you the overview.

It replaces SCSL (older version, no longer supported or used)
if I recall correctly.

Only the man pages are loaded. complib_eoe (the old Challenge R10000
library) sits in IRIX 6.5 Development libraries, but the default
is to load only the man pages.

I do question whether you really want COMPlib, BTW, it's largely obsolete and
pretty much replaced by SCSL. At least, unless you're after the old-style
non-LibSci FFT routines or EISPACK, but certainly not if you want LAPACK or
BLAS.

If it's SCSL routines you're after, that can be downloaded from

.

A recent IRIX 6.5 overlay will also have SCSL included.

If I have seen further, it is by standing on reference manuals.

Given Alexis' comments, I'm remembering backwards and SCSL is
the newer one. Which is also implied
by evidence in the doc. Sigh. Sorry about that.
So, use SCSL instead.

Yes it is, but complib.sgimathn, which is what Norm seems to be looking
for, doesn't exist...

A user was trying to compile something which he'd gotten from another
division of the company and the makefile he got with the source package
tried to link with that library. I'll pass down the comments about it being
obsolete.
