Installation
Step 2. Start the X server and OpenWindows
Step 2. Start the X server and OpenWindows
If you are not already running the X server, do so now. The X server is
required to run the Graphical User Interface because it is an X application.
•
Start the X server by entering /usr/openwin/bin/openwin at the
UNIX prompt.
Consult the OpenWindows documentation if you do not know about using
OpenWindows and the X server.
Step 3. Set the necessary environment variables
The DISPLAY environment variable must be set before the Graphical User
Interface will start. Also, you should modify the PATH environment variable
to include the "usr/hp64000/bin" directory, and, if you have installed software
in a directory other than "/", you need to set the HP64000 environment
variable.
The following instructions show you how to set these variables at the UNIX
prompt. Modify your ".profile" or ".login" file if you wish these environment
variables to be set when you log in. The following instructions also assume
that you're using "csh"; if you're using "sh", environment variables are set in
the "<VARIABLE>=<value>; export <VARIABLE>" form.
The DISPLAY environment variable is usually set by the openwin
1
startup script. Check to see that DISPLAY is set by entering
echo $DISPLAY
If DISPLAY is not set, you can set it by entering
setenv
DISPLAY=<hostname>:<server_number>.<screen_number>
For example:
setenv DISPLAY=myhost:0.0
Consult the OpenWindows documentation for an explanation of the DISPLAY
environment variable.
