MSI Software in the isis.unc.edu AFS Cell



There are three MSI software packages installed in the isis.unc.edu AFS cell: InsightII, Quanta, and Cerius2.

I. Insight II / Discover

Version

97.3

Platforms

IRIX 6.2, 6.3, 6.4



Requirements:

If you have an Octane, an d use stereo-in-a-window, please install patch 2289 which contains several graphics fixes. If you have a 24-inch monitor with your Octane, please install patch 1953.

If you have an O2, please install patched 2008 (multiple fixes for X libraries), 1975 (OpenGL bugfix and performance) and 1976 (6.3 -O2-10K Kernel Graphics Driver).

Make sure you have the "FORTRAN 77 standalone Execution Environment" installed . You can verify this by entering the command "versions ftn_eoe".



Licensing Information

Insight II/Discover program can support 5 simultaneous users

The following modules can be used by 2 simultaneous users


To use InsightII, you must be running csh or a variant of csh

% source /afs/isis.unc.edu/pkg/insightII/cshrc

% insightII ( or appropriate command )

Window Manager Resources - 4DWm is the standard window manager for SGI workstations. The following resources must be in place for Insight II to work properly when 4DWm is running. These are defaults in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/4DWm. Make sure that your .Xdefaults file has not defines these otherwise.

4Dwm*keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer

4Dwm*positionIsFrame: false


The following 4Dwm resource settings are recommended, but not required. Without these settings, you may experience transient color changes in parameter blocks or residual graphics after some window manager operations.

4Dwm*SG_useOverlay: false

4DWm*SG_visualType: normal


The user of an icon box is recommended, especially if you will be using hardware stereo. An icon box holds all of your icons in one convenient location. Without it, secondary window icons may get in your way in hardware stereo mode. To use an icon box, add the following lines to your .Xdefaults file. You ca adjust the geometry settings to suit your taste.

4Dwm*iconBoxGeometry: 5x2+0-0

4Dwm*useIconBox: True



II Quanta

Version

97

Platforms

IRIX 6.2, 6.3, 6.4



Licensing Information




To use Quanta, you must be running csh or a variant of csh

% source /afs/isis.unc.edu/pkg/quanta/.setquanta


% quanta



II Cerius2

Version

3.8

Platforms

IRIX 6.2, 6.3, 6.4



Requirements:



The default 14 point lucida font for the Cerius2 user interface is not installed on SGI systems by default. To get this font, you should install:

x_eoe.sw.Xoptfonts

If this component is not installed on your system, Cerius2 uses an alternate font.

The native IRIX 6.2 images provided with this release are high performance n32 executables. These images require the n32 runtime components specified in the following listing, which is the output of "versions". Not that these are not part of the standard IRIX installation, but may be installed from you Irix 6.2 or later distribution Cds.

I c++_eoe.sw32.lib Standard Execution Libraries (N32)

I c_eoe.sw32.lib Standard Execution Libraries (N32)

I eoe.sw32.gfx Graphics N32 Execution Environment

I ftn77_eoe.sw32.lib Standard Execution Libraries (N32bit)

I motif_eoe.sw32.eoe IRIX IM Run-time Software (n32)

I x_eoe.sw32.eoe X11 n32 Execution Environment

I compiler_eoe.sw32.lib Base Execution Libraries (N32)

I compiler_eoe.sw32.unix IRIX Execution Environment (N32)

I dmedia_eoe.sw32.lib Digital Media n32 Execution Libraries (if present)


Some Cerius2 applications (e.g. quantum mechanics applications) require the SGI complib math runtime libraries. These are:


/usr/lib32/libcomplib.sgimath.so

/usr/lib32/libcomplib.sgimath.mp.so

/usr/lib32/libftn90.50


which are links to files of the same name in the mips3 or mips4 subdirectories, depending on your hardware. You may already have these on your system if it is configured for development.


The following patches are also needed:


IRIX 6.2 SGI patch 3083


If you are using an O2 - 3298 and 3164

Some Cerius2 applications expect to find /usr/lib32/libfastm.so which is normally a link to a file of the same name in the mips3 or mips4 subdirectories. IRIX 6.3 is missing this link, so you may need to create it if any applications fail to load and give error messages about being unable to load /usr/lib32/libfastm.so. To do this, enter the following commands as root:


# cd /usr/lib32

# ln -s mips4/libfastm.so .



Licensing Information

The following modules are licensed for 2 simultaneous users


For csh users :
