Running the Installer
The Vividata Installer is a Motif-based graphical user interface (GUI) tool that
will aid in the installation of Vividata's products onto your system. You must
start the Installer from a console or terminal window within a X-based window
manager. You may be required to interact with terminal messages, so do not
launch the Installer from a file manager utility such as “dtfile”.
Note to IRIX users: If you do not have the file /usr/lib/libsocket.so on your
system, Installer will not run properly. You need to install this file from your IRIX
Operating System CD-ROM under the package “IRIX Execution Environment”,
sub-package “System V Release 4 Networking” (you only need to install the
sub-package).
If you extracted your installation files from an Internet or tape distribution,
change to the directory where you extracted your files to, switch to superuser, and
run “installer”:
% cd <spool directory>
% su
# ./installer
If you have your software distribution on CD-ROM, change to your CD-ROM's
root directory, switch to superuser, and run “Install”:
% cd <CD-ROM directory>
% su
# ./Install
There are some problems users commonly experience. If you get an error
message such as:
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
<product_name>.desc Contains installation information for the
Installer. Do not edit this file.
<product>.tar.Z A compressed product archive file used by
the Installer to install the software onto
your system. Do not uncompress this file
yourself.
