Hi, Building Ptolemy Classic is a little tricky and requires extensive knowledge about Linux, C and linking. I recently built Ptolemy Classic under Linux, my notes are at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyclassic/pt0.7.2/linux.htm
The instructions use the CVS version of Ptolemy, not Ptolemy 0.7.1. I've not built Polis in many years. So, what you are trying to do is fairly difficult, even for an expert in Linux and C. It looks like the problem you are having is that the PTARCH environment variable has not been set. I should be set to "linux". If you are running under bash: export PTARCH=linux The ptarch file should return the architecture, in this case "linux". Instead of export PTARCH=linux you could do export PTARCH=`$PTOLEMY/bin/ptarch` Why don't you take a look at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyclassic/pt0.7.2/linux.htm and try the install from those instructions. However, I have no idea if Polis will work with Ptolemy 0.7.2. _Christopher -------- Hi, I want to use ptolemy 071 with POLIS 04 on a Fedoracore6 Linux machine. But I'm having problems while installing Ptolemy 071. Since I am not familiar w ith linux i can not fix the problems. During installation there occurs errors l ike these: MAKEARCH: line 349: cd: /users/ptolemy/obj.'/users/ptolemy/bin/ptarch'/octtools/vem: No such file or directory MAKEARCH: line 362: cd: /users/ptolemy/obj.'/users/ptolemy/bin/ptarch': No such file or directory touch: cannot touch `/users/ptolemy/obj.'/users/ptolemy/bin/ptarch'': No such file or directory make: *** [obj.'/users/ptolemy/bin/ptarch'] Error 1 And when i try to start pigi, it gives this error : pigi: Warning: $PTARCH == ''/users/ptolemy/bin/ptarch'', but there is no makefile for this architecture. pigi: /users/ptolemy/bin.'/users/ptolemy/bin/ptarch'/pigiRpc does not exist or is not executable. Exiting. There exists a file named ptarch. But i could not understand what it is for. So i am asking for your help. Thank you. Regards.
