[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. > 2.

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! -- Bhaskar ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
