Hello,
I've compiled the CVS distribution on my Linux box
(RH6.2 + lesstif-0.89.9-1).
I left the install path as default (/usr/local/dx).
I'm struggling with the startup script in /usr/local/bin/dx
(which is a copy of /usr/local/dx/bin/dx) and
/usr/local/dx/bin/dxworker:
dxworker around line 140 says:
# default to running locally, from /usr/lpp/dx
set exhost=$thishost
set dxroot=/usr/lpp/dx
set startup=1 # run the startup window by default
=> This should be: set dxroot=/usr/local/dx
dxworker around line 193 says:
if ($?DXMACROS) then
set envargs="$envargs -macros $DXMACROS"
endif
=> $DXMACROS is empty and this results in envargs="[...] -macros"
=> causing an error message:
=> /usr/local/dx/bin/dxworker : -macros: missing directory list
dxworker around line 1123 says:
if (! $?dxdata) set dxdata="/usr/lpp/dx/samples/data"
again dxdata should be set to default "/usr/local/dx/samples/data"
When I change these things, I can start Data Explorer with
/usr/local/bin/dx and the main menu pops up.
"Edit Visual Programs...", shows an error message window
for a few microseconds "Failed directory: can not find"
or something like that, and Data Explorer will
HANG => killing manually necessary!
"Edit Visual Programs..." will also hang Data Explorer,
not even showing the file selector.
"Samples..." starts up, but not in the default
/usr/local/dx/samples directory !?!?!
"Import Data..." seems to work at a brief glance.
"Run Tutorial" runs fine.
Regards,
Rob.
