[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...

Howdy, Yliniemi:

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! -jeff
