This assumes you have the October 2000 release (version 0.1 or higher) of partiview, not the earlier "gview" release that was described in earlier versions of this document. We keep copies of some support files on our initial http://www.astro.umd.edu/nemo/amnh website. Note that this current development release is only documented for work under Linux, although we expect it to work for at least SGI and maybe Solaris too.
First make sure Mesa is installed, for redhat6.2
there are rpm files
available. Check if you have the following:
% rpm -qa | grep Mesa
Mesa-3.2-2
Mesa-devel-3.2-2
You should see both.
Homepage: http://mesa3d.sourceforge.org
Redhat packages: (part of powertools i believe)
Also make sure fltk is installed. If you got my version, do this (as
root)
% cd <where-ever>/fltk-1.0.9
% make install
(you only need it if you want to recompile the program at some point, not if you just want to run it)
Homepage: http://www.fltk.org/
Redhat packages: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/nogin/RPM/fltk-devel.html
Now compile (if you really want to) the program, normally a (linux) executable
should be in the src directory already:
% tar zxf partiview-0.2.tar.gz
% cd partiview-0.2/src
% make clean (if you really must compile a new executable)
% ./configure (creates a new Makefile from Makefile.in)
% make partiview (might need to edit the Makefile)
