I'm trying to install ProView 4.5.0-7 on Ubuntu 8.04 (which runs inside a VMware virtual machine, with Windows XP as host).

I have done the following:
1. Created an pwrp user account with password pwrppwrp (6 characters were reduired in the password).
2. Created an apt repository and installed pwr45 and pwrdemo45
3. Logged in with the new pwrp user and ran the following command:
pwrp@ubuntu-desktop-32bit:~$ sdf pwrdemo45
bash: /usr/bin/sdf: No such file or directory
4. Installed sdf with the following command from the root user:
sudo apt-get install sdf
5. Logged in with the new pwrp user again and ran the following command:
pwrp@ubuntu-desktop-32bit:~$ sdf pwrdemo45
pwrdemo45 abort, line 0: error fetching sdf file 'pwrdemo45'
6. Logged in as root and changed the password for the user to pwrp
7. Performed step 5 again with the same results.

I suspect that it might be related to the environment settings. According to the documentation a correct environemt for working with ProView will be set up when logging in with the pwrp user. Can it be that these environments have not set correctly? Is it possible to find out which environmental setting which are supposed to be set, and perform a manual check if they are present or not?

Any feedback would be highly appreciated

Hi

Have you tried to use the Ubuntu deb-package?

I have made a couple of installations under Ubuntu by just double clicking on the downloaded deb-package. The package installer downloads any missing dependencies and creates the required accounts. After the completion, just log out and then log in as pwrp.

Good luck!

Hi alkymi,

User pwrp should have been created when you install the pwr45-package. Some things will be setup in .bashrc and .bash_profile. I guess you are missing these things now.

Check that you have a file /etc/pwrp_profile. Add this line to .bashrc:

source /etc/pwrp_profile

sdf is in the Proview--world an alias. This is not a package to install. At the end of .bashrc
you should add this line:

source $pwra_db/pwr_setup.sh

or

source /usr/pwrp/adm/db/pwr_setup.sh

(The alias for sdf looks like:

alias sdf=\"source $pwra_db/pwra_env.sh set project\"

)

From .bash_profile source the file .bashrc.

I think you can find example of these files in your installation root:

{root}/os_linux/hw_x86/exp/cnf/

If you find it troublesome to get this correct manually. The I suggest you uninstall remove user pwrp and the try like Ohl suggested.

Good luck !

Hi,

Thank you for your help. There were several missing settings in the setup for the pwrp user. These settings were probably missing since the pwrp user was created before the pwr45 package was installed. I removed the pwrp user and the pwr45 package before a new installation of the pwr45 package was performed. Now the pwrp user was created automatically and the environmental settings seems to be correct.

I then ran the command \"sdf pwrdemo45\", which succeeded. But the command \"rt_ini &\" failed, see terminal output below. Any advice on how to solve this problem?

Regards,
alkymi

Hi,

Also the pwrdemo45-package depends on user pwrp to be set upp correctly.
Did you reinstall this also ?

Try this and I guess it will work.
