<H2><A NAME="s1">1. Installation</A></H2>
<P>
<P>This assumes you have the July 2001 release (version 0.6 or later) of
<B>partiview</B>, not the earlier "<B>gview</B>" release that was described
in earlier versions of this document. We keep copies of some support
files (Mesa, FLTK) on our initial
<A HREF="http://www.astro.umd.edu/nemo/amnh">http://www.astro.umd.edu/nemo/amnh</A> 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.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="ss1.1">1.1 MESA/OpenGL</A>
</H2>
<P>First make sure <CODE>Mesa</CODE> is installed, for <CODE>redhat6.2</CODE>
there are rpm files
available. Check if you have the following:
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<HR>
<PRE>
% rpm -qa | grep Mesa
Mesa-3.2-2
Mesa-devel-3.2-2
% rpm -i Mesa-3.2-2.i686.rpm Mesa-devel-3.2-2.i686.rpm
</PRE>
<HR>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>You should have both installed. Some packages will use <CODE>libMesaGL</CODE>, others
<CODE>libGL</CODE>. The <CODE>configure</CODE> script (see below)
should take care of the two possible options.

<P>
<H2><A NAME="ss1.2">1.2 FLTK</A>
</H2>
<P>Also make sure <CODE>fltk</CODE> is installed. If you got my version, do this (as
root)

% cd <where-ever>/fltk-1.0.9

<P>(you only need it if you want to recompile the program at some point,
not if you just want to run it)

</H2>
<P>
<P>Extract the tarball, and install the program from within the
<CODE>src</CODE> directory:
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<HR>
<PRE>
% tar zxf partiview-0.6.tar.gz
% cd partiview-0.5/src
% make clean (if you really must compile a new executable)
% ./configure (GNU autoconf toolset to ease installation)
% make depend (might need to make new local dependancies)
% make partiview (should not have to edit Makefile anymore)

<P>
<H2><A NAME="ss1.4">1.4 CVS</A>
</H2>
<P><CODE>partiview-0.5</CODE> is under CVS control, and occasionally we
will stamp out a new release when we deem it stable. Anonymous CVS may also
be offered, but this is not currently enabled. Currently the
CVS repository machine is
<CODE>akash.astro.umd.edu</CODE> and you will need to setup your developers account with
Peter (<CODE>teuben@astro.umd.edu</CODE>). Here's a sample session with some commonly
used CVS commands:
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<HR>
<PRE>
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:pteuben@akash.astro.umd.edu:/home/cvsroot
setenv CVSEDITOR emacs
setenv CVS_RSH ssh (not needed for pserver access though)
cvs login (only needed once, and only for pserver type access)
mkdir ~/cvsstuff
cd ~/cvsstuff
cvs checkout partiview # get a new local sandbox to work in, or
cvs -n -q update partiview # check if others had made any changes
cvs update partiview # if so, update your sandbox and/or resolve conflicts
cd partiview/src
./configure
emacs partibrains.c # edit some files
make all # compile the program
./partiview # test the program
emacs kira_parti.cc # edit another file
make all # check if it still compiles
cvs -n -q update # check if anybody else made changes
cvs update # if so, update your sandbox again, resolve conflicts
cvs commit # and commit your changes
cd ../..
cvs release partiview # if you want to release and remove this sandbox
