Now that I have scrapped through the circa 2003 stuff it is time to give the latest and greatest a try. 1. Does this release run under Fedora Core 3? 2. I would rather not utilize the vista script with Xdialog as I am accessing the server with no X binaries or libraries installed. Can I do this with SemiVivA? I recall the previous posts about making the script use a curses based interface but I just want to place source, dat and objects of the tarball and start configuration.

Does this release run under Fedora Core 3? [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) $gtm_dist" So the following should allow you to execute VistA successfully: To install Vista (look out for inopportune line breaks caused by mail): mkdir -p /home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212/{g,o,r} gzip -d /home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212/g/mumps.dat To run VistA: source /usr/local/gtm/gtmprofile export vista_source=/usr/local/OpenVistA export vista_home=/home/mark/myVistA/VistA20050212 export gtmgbldir=$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.

Re: [Hardhats-members] SemiVivAFOIAGold20050212
OK, that clarifies it. GT.M/Vista seems to run on FC3 just fine with Security Enhancements not configured. I will start a new config and see how things go now that I have Fileman initialized. One note, on the hardhats.org site Projects/install notes, the instructions are rather windows centric. ; ) On Tuesday 08 March 2005 15:08, Bhaskar, KS wrote: > > 1.

Re: [Hardhats-members] SemiVivAFOIAGold20050212
Mark, You take good documentation where you can get it. You are in a great position to help us improve our documentation. I did this somewhat when I was figuring it out also. It is hard to remember what you don't know, and the order that you had to learn it. If you could help with non-windows centric documentation, we would be very grateful. "Help the next guy."

Re: [Hardhats-members] SemiVivAFOIAGold20050212
I plan to do just this very thing. I have been doing this all day in between patients. 1. I am still learning the different sources for Vista documentation on the web. One thing I was a bit intimidated by at first was the different sources and not knowing exactly where to start or where to go next which is why I mentioned the wiki. 2. I am still learning the different strengths of those that contribute on the hardhats list. The geocities.com/kdtop3 site and hardhats.org are both very good resources with lots of information. Sifting through for relevance can be a bit challenging. which is why I initially went for the HUI doc and installed from source. Would the wiki be the best place?

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" [KSB] Let me make a plug here for the GT.M Acculturation CD which you can download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sanchez-gtm - work your way through the exercises on it, and the above will (well, should!) all become crystal clear... -- Bhaskar
