Dear colleagues, Let me introduce myself.
I am a system administrator at the School of Geosciences, University of Sydney. Here at the school we have a mixture of everything including Solaris, Linux, Windowz, MacOSX, BSD, etc. The problem I have is application related one. We have a legacy application ( plates - software for Geodynamics modeling ) that runs Solaris 2.4, 2.5, 2.6. As far as I know ( I know little ) the software requires some openwindows libraries which Solaris 2.7 and later are missing because SUN dropped support for openwindows after 2.6. The easiest way would be to install 2.6, but we do not have any spare Solaris machine available at this stage. Would anyone have an idea how can I get a legacy application that requires specific libraries from 2.5 to run on a later platform e.g. 2.7 ? Thank you in advance. Ivan P.S. Our research folks are developing a Gnu cross platform version of plates; details are http://sourceforge.net/projects/gplates/ if anyone is interested. Is is not ready for production till the end of the year. ================================================================================ Ivan Teliatnikov phone: +61 2 9351 2031 fax: +61 2 9351 0184 mobile_phone: +61 402 173 179 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] School of Geosciences F05 - Edgeworth David Building The University of Sydney NSW 2006 Australia ================================================================================ IMPORTANT NOTICES ================================================================================ This email (including any documents referred to in, or attached, to this email) may contain information that is personal, confidential or the subject of copyright or other proprietary rights in favour of the University of Sydney, its affiliates or third parties.
