Installation procedures vary slightly depending on the operating system. Refer to the appropriate procedure for your operating system. Domino does not support the HP-UX operating system. Creating symbolic links for the Domino plug-in on Linux and Solaris hosts You need to perform this procedure if you want to create symbolic links for the Domino plug-in on Linux and Solaris hosts. You should not copy and paste commands directly from this document; errors (such as incorrectly transferred characters caused by line breaks and hard returns) might result. Copy and paste the commands into a text editor, verify the commands, and then enter them in the CLI console. The paths provided in the following steps refer to the 32-bit systems; 64-bit systems must create simlinks to /usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib.

  • An Introduction to the X Window System Introduction to X's Anatomy
    An Introduction to the X Window System Robert Lupton This is a limited and partisan introduction to ‘The X Window System’, which is widely but improperly known as X-windows, specifically to version 11 (‘X11’). The intention of the X-project has been to provide ‘tools not rules’, which allows their basic system to appear in a very large number of confusing guises. This document assumes that you are using the configuration that I set up at Peyton Hall † There are helpful manual entries under X and Xserver, as well as for individual utilities such as xterm. You may need to add /usr/princeton/X11/man to your MANPATH to read the X manpages. This is the first draft of this document, so I’d be very grateful for any comments or criticisms. Introduction to X’s Anatomy X consists of three parts: The server The part that knows about the hardware and how to draw lines and write characters. The Clients Such things as terminal emulators, dvi previewers, and clocks and The Window Manager A programme which handles negotiations between the different clients as they fight for screen space, colours, and sunlight. Another fundamental X-concept is that of resources, which is how X describes any- thing that a client might want to specify; common examples would be fonts, colours (both foreground and background), and position on the screen. Keys X can, and usually does, use a number of special keys. You are familiar with the way that <shift>a and <ctrl>a are different from a; in X this sensitivity extends to things like mouse buttons that you might not normally think of as case-sensitive.

  • Appendix A. Installation and Troubleshooting
    The Almagest A-1 Appendix A. Installation and Troubleshooting Authors: Joseph T. Buck Christopher Hylands Alan Kamas Other Contributors: Stephen Edwards Edward A. Lee Kennard White A.1 Introduction This appendix consists of the following sections: • “Obtaining Ptolemy” on page A-1 discusses how to obtain Ptolemy. • “Ptolemy mailing lists and the Ptolemy newsgroup” on page A-2, discusses various forums for discussion about Ptolemy. • “Installation” on page A-3 discusses how to install Ptolemy. • “Troubleshooting” on page A-15 discusses how to find and fix problems in Ptolemy. • “Known bugs” on page A-32 lists known problems in Ptolemy. • “Additional resources” on page A-39 discusses other resources. A.2 Obtaining Ptolemy Ptolemy binaries are currently available for the following architectures: HP running HPUX10.20, Sun 4 (Sparc) running Solaris2.5.1,. In addition, Ptolemy has been compiled on SunOS4.x HPUX9.x, Linux RedHat 5.0, NetBSD_i386, IBM RS/6000 AIX4.x, SGI Irix6.x and the DEC Alpha Digital Unix 4 platforms. These additional platforms are not supported in- house and thus these ports are not tested and may not be complete. Installing the full system requires about 150 Megabytes of disk space (more if you optionally remake). The demonstration version of Ptolemy, “Ptiny,” only requires 12 Mega- bytes of disk space. All versions requires at least 8 Megabytes of physical memory. For the latest information on Ptolemy, get the Frequently Asked Questions list. Send electronic mail to [email protected] with the message: get ptolemy-hackers.FAQ in the body (not the subject) of the message.
