Chapter 16: Installation
Installing HP 9000 Software
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 "sh" or "ksh"; if you're using "csh", environment variables are set
using the "setenv <VARIABLE> <value>" command.
1 Set the DISPLAY environment variable by entering
DISPLAY=<hostname>:<server_number>.<screen_number>
export DISPLAY
For example:
DISPLAY=myhost:0.0; export DISPLAY
Consult the X Window documentation supplied with the UNIX system
documentation for an explanation of the DISPLAY environment variable.
2 Set the HP64000 environment variable.
For example, if you installed the HP 64000 software relative to the root directory,
"/", you would enter
HP64000=/usr/hp64000; export HP64000
If you installed the software relative to a directory other than the root directory, it is
strongly recommended that you use a symbolic link to make the software appear to
be under /usr/hp64000. For example, if you installed the software relative to
directory /users/team, you would enter
ln -s /users/team/usr/hp64000 /usr/hp64000
If you do not wish to establish a symbolic link, you can set the HP64000 variable to
the full path that contains the HP 64000 software. Again, if you installed relative to
/users/team, you would enter
HP64000=/users/team/usr/hp64000; export HP64000
