[ALLY] How 2 install View on Solaris (2.7) ?
[1/2] from: peoyli::algonet::se at: 30-Aug-2000 4:15
Hi,
I guess I'm doing it right, but installing REBOL/View fails miserabely
on every possible try..
**
First try...
Having the archives, core102.tar.gz, command102.tar.gz and
view102.tar.gz in /export/home/peoyli/rebol_arch and running a custom
decompress-into-right-location script:
------------ decompress script start ---------
#!/bin/sh
wd=`pwd`;
mkdir -p /usr/local/rebol
cd /usr/local/rebol
gzip -dc $wd/core102.tar.gz | tar xf -
mv rebol rebol_core
gzip -dc $wd/view102.tar.gz | tar xf -
mv rebol rebol_view
gzip -dc $wd/command102.tar.gz | tar xf -
mv rebol rebol_cmnd
ln -s rebol_view rebol
------------ decompress script end -----------

Second try...
Removing all files from /usr/local/rebol, but keeping the directory,
decompressing View only into /tmp/rebol and running the installation
from there:
lillen:[/usr/local/rebol]# rm -rf *
lillen:[/usr/local/rebol]# cd /tmp
lillen:[/tmp]# mkdir rebol; cd rebol
lillen:[/tmp/rebol]# gzip -dc /export/home/peoyli/rebol_arch/view102.tar.gz | tar xfv

lillen:[/tmp/rebol]# ./rebol

** Where: ns-pref-file: join env-home %.netscape/preferences.js

** Press enter to quit...
lillen:[/tmp/rebol]
**
Third try...
Removing everything in /usr/local/rebol again, including the directory
and running the installation from the /tmp/rebol directory:
lillen:[/usr/local]# rm -rf rebol
lillen:[/usr/local]# cd /tmp/rebol
lillen:[/tmp/rebol]# ./rebol

Everything _seems_ to go OK (the 'browser' is opened), but when
exiting REBOL..
lillen:[/tmp/rebol]# cd /usr/local/rebol
/usr/local/rebol: No such file or directory
lillen:[/tmp/rebol]#
**
So.. what should I do to successfully install REBOL/View ?

Valiant efforts! Two things:
1. REBOL/view determines its home based on an environment
variable named: REBOL_VIEW
2. There's a known bug in the current unix installation for
REBOL/view unix versions which blows out the installation
-- we'll hopefully have that fixed and posted soon, like
today. (This experimental program sure is fun! Anyone
made a script to automatically update their experimental
yet?)
Sorry your REBOL/view installation experience has been
frustrating!
