Installation Instructions

OBS! The installation path selected below must not be the same as the one used for an OTP -jam system.

The release is delivered as a compressed tar-file otp_APN18101_beam_P1D.<target>.tar.Z, where <target> is substituted with sunos5.

Then the following steps shall be performed at installation time:

mkdir <installation path>
cd <installation path>
uncompress $XXX/otp_APN18101_beam_P1D.<target>.tar.Z
tar xvfp $XXX/otp_APN18101_beam_P1D.<target>.tar
./Install <installation path>
The Install command will ask a number of questions during the installation.
OBS! When installing on a system where DNS is not used you should answer NO on the question "WILL YOU USE DNS?"
mkdir man/cat1 man/cat3
./format_man_pages
cd <installation path>/usr/lib and run ranlib on liberl_interface.a (only sunos4)

Add <installation path>/bin to the path variable and <installation path>/man to the MANPATH variable.

Where $XXX denotes the path at which otp_APN18101_beam_P1D.<target>.tar resides.

Some useful notes

To make it possible to browse Framemaker documents through Netscape the files .mime.types and .mailcap should be modified (see below). The modifications can be made as systems defaults if they are placed in e.g /usr/local/lib/netscape (see Netscape Handbook for details) or as personal defaults if placed in the users $HOME directory.

.mime.types

application/x-maker  fm

.mailcap

application/x-maker;	fmclient -f %s

Known problems in this release

Some html-links may still be faulty.
