[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] some problems finding 'math2oogl' on remote machine
Stuart,
I think I'm confused about something.
In the patched OOGL.m file, which now resides on the DEC RISC machine, it says
to do one of the following:
If you want to be able to use this package from a directory other
than the geomview distribution directory, or if you want to be able to
run it from a remote host, then
EITHER
ensure that the programs
"geomview", "math2oogl", "togeomview", and "oogl2rib"
are in your search path (e.g. copy them to /usr/local/bin),
OR
- Change the value of $GeomviewPath below to be the absolute pathname
of the "geomview" shell script on your system and
- Change the value of $GeomRoot below to be the absolute pathname
of the geomview distribution directory on your system.
The first alternative is preferred when possible.
*)
(* $GeomviewPath = "/u/geom/bin/geomview"; *)
(* $GeomRoot = "/u/gcg/ngrap"; *)
$GeomviewPath = "geomview";
$GeomRoot = ".";
The first alternative won't work for the "triad" problem we e-mailed about.
Following the next alternative, I changed the GeomviewPath and GeomRoot to,
$GeomviewPath = "/a/grouchy/root/home/user1/jvillaci/sv";
$GeomRoot = "/a/greatwhite/root/usr/local/graphics/geomview";
Both paths are reachable when doing an rsh from the DEC RISC, so Mathematica
*should* be able to see them. Then I logged into the Sun4 machine and went
into the "geomview" script file, located in the GeomviewPath, and changed the
GEOMROOT line to,
GEOMROOT=/a/greatwhite/root/usr/local/graphics/geomview
Lastly, I got into mathematica (via "math", not the notebook), on the DEC RISC
and here is what happened:
Mathematica 2.2 for DEC RISC
Copyright 1988-93 Wolfram Research, Inc.
scs0: Invalid argument
scs0: Invalid argument
-- Motif graphics initialized --
In[1]:= << ~/sv/OOGL.m
Warning: the program 'math2oogl' is not on your search path,
> /usr7/math/Bin/Display:/usr7/math/Bin:/usr4/jvillaci/bin:/usr/local/bin:/\
> usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/new:/usr/bin/X11:.
the Mathematica->geomview graphics package won't be able to work;
change the value of $Geomroot in OOGL.m, or ensure that the math2oogl\
> programs
are installed somewhere on your search path.
In[2]:=
My question is this: does "math2oogl" have to reside on the machine which runs
mathematica, or can it run on the machine running geomview? If it is the former,
then how can I obtain a copy of the file which will run on a DEC RISC? If it is
the latter, then is there some way of "piping" the mathematica output to
"math2oogl" first, and then passing that on to geomview?
Ok, that's all I can think of right now. Sorry if this is a wee too verbose, but
hopefully it is clearer where the problem may lie.
Thanks again for you help Stuart!
