[KSB] It has been reported as running on FC3. However, FC3 may have a
default setting that prevents processes from executing code from heap
(malloc'd) space. Since GT.M is a true compiler and M requires dynamic
compilation of code, if turned on, this setting must be turned off. I
don't have personal experience with FC.

[KSB] Short answer: yes.
Long answer: you don't need to use the /usr/local/OpenVistA/vista script
to run VistA on GT.M, on either VivA or SemiVivA. All it does is set up
a bunch of environment variables using Xdialog for user interaction.
Check the script for the environment variables it sets (and note that it
calls /usr/local/gtm/gtmprofile). Minimally, you will need to set:
$vista_home (needed if you wan to use the global directory
at /usr/local/OpenVistA/g/mumps.gld; tnot needed if you create your own
global directory) to point to something
like /home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212 if the database is
at /home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212/g/mumps.dat, dynamically created
source routines are in the directory /home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212/r
and dynamically compiled object files are to go
in /home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212/o.
$gtm_dist to point to /usr/local/gtm, the directory where GT.M is
installed.
$gtmgbldir to point to the global directory,
i.e., /usr/local/OpenVistA/g/mumps.gld.
$gtmroutines to point to
"/home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212/o(/home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212/r)
/usr/local/OpenVistA/o(/usr/loca/OpenVistA/r) $gtm_dist"
So the following should allow you to execute VistA successfully:
To install Vista (look out for inopportune line breaks caused by mail):
mkdir -p /home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212/{g,o,r}
gzip -d </usr/local/OpenVistA/g/mumps.dat.gz
>/home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212/g/mumps.dat
To run VistA:
source /usr/local/gtm/gtmprofile
export vista_source=/usr/local/OpenVistA
export vista_home=/home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212
export gtmgbldir=$vista_source/g/mumps.gld
export gtmroutines="$vista_home/o($vista_home/r)
$vista_source/o($vista_source/r) $gtm_dist"
$gtm_dist/mumps -dir
Have fun!
