LATEST UPDATE: April 27, 2009:

The c++ compiler on the linux boxes that are managed by the computer group is not
the right version that is required to compile the latest stable version of CLOUDY.

So for now, download the c07 version and use it. I just tried it on my linux
box and it compiled and ran a test case just fine.

Here is the tar file: cloudy_v07_02_02.tar which I downloaded from the nublado web site.
Here is a Makefile, which you have to put in the source directory.
In fact if you unpack the tar file, and cd into the source directory, put the Makefile in
the source directory, and type "make" it should be fine -- it takes a few minutes to
do everything but it sets up the paths to the data directory, etc. itself. The executable is
called cloudy.exe.

Let me know if you have further problems -- sorry for the confusion.

HERE ARE OLD (c. 2002) notes:

CLOUDY on your linux box

The version of CLOUDY which is described in the first handout contains an
executable for Sun solaris systems, since two years ago, everyone used Suns.

The new version of CLOUDY (C94) is much easier to download and
compile and I got it working in about 15 minutes on my linux box.
The old fortran versions actually would take a reasonably computer
capable person most of a day to deal with, so that's why I distributed
a compiled version before.

The download instructions are located at

http://nimbus.pa.uky.edu/cloudy/cloudy_94.htm

You may go to this URL and follow the instructions, or follow the
simplified instructions described below.

Download the following files from my computer, and untar them:
data9400.tar           This should go in a Data directory, contains data that CLOUDY must access
hazyPDF.tar           This contains PDF versions of the manuals.
hazyPS.tar.gz          This contains PS versions of the same manuals
source9400.tar         This contains the source code.
testin9400.tar          This contains the test cases and examples.

To get CLOUDY to see the files in the DATA directory, you may either:
1- Edit the code and compile it, to tell it explictly where the data directory is on your computer.
      How to do this is clearly described here. It took several minutes to compile CLOUDY using
      the GNU gcc instructions, on my high-end linux box.
2. - Use my executable, cloudy.exe, and use "set path" to tell it where the data is, whenever you
     log on.
