Chapter 15: Installation
Installing Sun SPARCsystem Software
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.
1 The DISPLAY environment variable is usually set by the openwin 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>
