Once the source is unpacked, the rest of the installation consists of the
following steps.
- Installation of the PADE interface - The first line in the main
PADE Tcl script must be edited so that it points to the Tk windowing
shell program wish. This file is located in the pade
subdirectory under the nist_pade directory and has the name
pade. The first line of this script must have the form:
#!<directory-path-to-wish>/wish -f
where the angle-brackets expression above should be replaced by the
absolute pathname of the directory that contains the wish program.
Note: some systems will misbehave in confusing ways if the first
line of the script file is longer than 32 characters, so beware if the
full path name of the wish binary is longer than 27 characters. If
this happens, the user can create a symlink in the nist_pade/pade
directory to the wish program as follows.
ln -s <directory-path-to-wish>/wish ./wish
and then alter the script to read
#!<directory-path-to-the-symlink>/wish -f
If wish cannot be found, it is likely that the Tcl/Tk software
is not installed. PADE will not run unless the Tcl/Tk software is
present.
- Installation of the NIST CAML Utilities - Installation of the
utilities on the development host requires five steps. These steps
are also required for installing the utilities on the other nodes of
the virtual machine. For the other nodes, however, some additional
packaging and file-transfer steps are required. Installation of
the utilities on other nodes is addressed in the next section. The
activities for installation of the utilities on the development host
for a user who does not have root privileges are as follows.
- Change to the caml_utils subdirectory under the top
PADE directory.
- Edit the file padeinituser. Set the variable
CAML_UTILS_HOME in this file to the absolute pathname of the
top of where the CAML Utilities will be installed.
- Edit the file Makefile.aimk. Set the environment
variables PVM_ROOT, PVM_ARCH, ARCHLIB and CAMLDIR
as directed in that file.
- Type the following command at the Unix prompt.
aimk
This command will create architecture-dependent executables
in an ARCH subdirectory of the caml_utils directory,
where ARCH is the host architecture name, e.g., SUN.
- Type the following command at the Unix prompt.
aimk install
This command will install the NIST CAML Utilities
in the directory specified by CAMLDIR.
