This is veresion 2.2 of GDE which I have attempted to port to
Linux (glibc, kernel 2.0.x, Debian release but no .deb file).
the basic installation steps are as follows:
(1) get the OpenWin XView libraries and include files set up on
your system. Binary versions of the libs are included in this
distribution, but they may not work on your system. If they
will work, you should be able to copy them to /usr/local/lib,
run ldconfig, and have the included executable GDE files work.
Use "ldconfig -v | grep libxv" to see if it's really finding the
shared library, else "man ldconfig" and sort it out. It's
better if you get the xview stuff properly installed on your
system, but if you can't just grab the precompiled executables
from the various subdirectories -- i.e., skip step (2) below.
Rpm version of OpenView (Xview) library are included in the distribution at
the CORE directory.
xview-3.2p1.4-6.i386.rpm , xview-3.2p1.4-6.src.rpm , xview-clients-3.2p1.4-6.i386.rpm , xview-devel-3.2p1.4-6.i386.rpm
For Redhat system: rpm -i xview-xxxx.rpm
(2) The linux distribution had been compiled and provide the executables files. Until today GDE for linux had been sucessfull setup in Debian, RedHat, Mandrake and FreeBSD Linux distributions.
(3) copy all the executables to wherever you want GDE to live,
and set the environment variable GDE_HELP_DIR to that location
in your login/startup files. Mine uses bash and in the
~/.bash_profile file I have
export GDE_HELP_DIR=/usr/local/GDE
M. Zuker's RNA folding code requires that there be a
$GDE_HELP_DIR/ZUKER directory containing the ZUKER/*.dat
files. You will probably want to put the $GDE_HELP_DIR
on your path if it is a new directory.
That should be it. I have gotten everythng to compile though
still with a few warnings here and there that I couldn't figure
out. I think everything runs ok as well, though I'm not certain
about how Zuker's MFOLD is exactly supposed to work.
