Client: UNIX Installation
Post-Installation Notes
The following additional information might be required to configure and run
Prolifics software on your system.
Several character-mode specific utilities,
mbedit.cm
(menu bar editor) and
showkey.cm
(key translation utility), are provided in the distributed
util
directory. You may need to use these if you are running Prolifics using character-
mode and your system does not have Motif installed. To ensure that directions and
menu options that reference these utilities can be used and accessed, rename the
executables:
1.
In the
util
directory, save the Motif versions of the utilities by giving each a
new extension to distinguish it from their corresponding character-mode
utilities. For example:
cp mbedit mbedit.xm
cp showkey showkey.xm
2.
Copy the character-mode utilities to the utility name having no extension. For
example:
cp mbedit.cm mbedit
cp showkey.cm showkey
Troubleshooting
The information in this section is intended to provide you with additional guidance
when you encounter error messages.
If the license manager is not able to process the license file, an appropriate error
message is displayed. Appendix E lists error messages generated by FLEXlm and
hints for resolving them.
If the Prolifics license server is not running, its clients will not be able to run.
To determine your Motif version number:
From your Motif installation directory, run the following command:
strings libXm.a | grep –i version
Prolifics’s graph capabilities rely upon external programs, therefore, it is possible
for Prolifics to be working properly except for the business graph component. If
you have problems with the graph functionality, check the following:
