JObserve: Download

How do I install it?
|
|
Pre-rolled packages are available for i*86 Linux and for Sun Solaris;
the install procedure is pretty simple and requires no special system
privledges, just disk space (about 30m):
- Download the package you need.
- Unpack it using tar and gunzip.
- Edit the Makefile to set JO_HOME to where you unpacked it.
- Run make config.
- Make a link to jobserve.sh somewhere in your path.
An example install:
[1] % gzip -dc jobserve-1.7.5-linux.tgz | tar -xf -
[2] % cd jobserve-1.7.5
[3] % emacs -nw Makefile
[4] % make config
[5] % ln -s jobserve.sh ~/bin
In step 3, I replaced this line of the Makefile:
JO_HOME=/home/asg/vla/jobserve/devel
With this one:
JO_HOME=/home/dunsel/jobserve-1.7.5

JObserve for Linux.
|
|
This version comes with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2
that works under RedHat 9; it should function under other glibc 2
versions of Linux but it has so far only been tested under RedHat.
|
|
Note: RedHat 7.0 shipped with a version of glibc that broke
the JRE; you are strongly recommended to seek out the vendor supplied
updates and apply them before using JObserve.

JObserve for Solaris.
|
|
This version includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
1.6.0_06; downloaders should be aware that stock versions of
Solaris 6 & 7 will need to be patched to be able to run
this version of Java. More information can be found
on Sun's Java Site.
|
|
JObserve for Windows?
|
|
We are working on a Java Web Start version of JObserve, which
will allow users to download, install and run JObserve from
their properly configured web browser; we expect to have it
in place and ready for testing by mid August.
|
|
JObserve for Macs?
|
|
We have a version for MacOS X one of our users was kind enough
to provide: it should be understood that it is unsupported, the
GUI is known to display scanlists oddly, but it does seem to
work.

|
JObserve for Everything Else.
|
|
As JObserve was written in Java, it should be able to run on
any kind of system for which there is a current Java Virtual
Machine; if you can find a recent verion (1.4.2) of the JRE for your
machine and you are willing to roll up your sleeves, you can
get JObserve running on it. For a UN*X based machine, you'll
need to:
- Make sure your machine has a JRE.
- Download jobserve-1.7.5-core.tgz
[1.4M]
- Unpack it using tar and gunzip.
- Edit the Makefile to set JO_HOME to where you unpacked it.
- Run make config.
- Edit jobserve.sh so java is called correctly for your
machine.
- Make a link to jobserve.sh somewhere in your path.
