CORE only on RS6000

 [1/3] from: steven::white::ci::bloomington::mn::us at: 7-Nov-2002 15:24


On a Windows desktop, one can run a script that uses only CORE functions, with something like rebol --nowindow --script <script-name> and it works fine. When I try to run it under AIX on an RS6000, it will not run because it wants to connect to an X server program and I don't want to start an X server program (because I want to run the script overnight with "cron" and don't want to leave my desktop computer (with an X server) running). Is it possible to run Rebol VIEW with some switch or parameter so that it will run CORE only and not try to display anything? I know I could download and install CORE only for the RS6000, but the highest level available for the RS6000 seems to be 2.3, and when I try my script under CORE 2.3 on the RS6000 it fails to work for other reasons. Rebol VIEW for the RS6000 has CORE 2.5 in it. Thank you.

That's weird. I would've thought if they could put Core 2.5 in View a Core-only version would've only been a compile away. Have you asked RT about it? -- Carl Read

AFAIK, that is not possible.

Rebol VIEW for the RS6000 has SW> CORE 2.5 in it. Contact RT and ask for an update of /Core. If they have /View for it, they can surely compile /Core for it, so maybe just asking is enough to have them to compile it. :-) Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[g--santilli--tiscalinet--it]> -- REBOL Programmer Amigan -- AGI L'Aquila -- REB: http://web.tiscali.it/rebol/index.r
