Thanks Erick, Matt, and Scott.
I followed your suggestion of grabbing STk 3.1.1
And I successfully installed it on our CS Dept.'s public AIX
machines. And I installed it on our CS Dept.'s public Sun
Sparc machines too (There is a problem while building demos,
I will explain it later).
I still failed to install it on my desktop running Linux.
The same problem repeats even after I manually add
"-lSM -lICE -lX11 -ldl" into Makefile in ./Src directory
as Eric suggested. Nevermind, the students won't use that
machine, I just happened to install STk on my desktop that day.
It seems my desktop has some configuration problem. Somehow
it confused the STk configure. I am not familiar with Linux
administration, and those machines' Linux was set up by
someone else. I even don't know the exact release name
and version number.
Eric, I want to report some error during my installation on
AIX and Solaris.
1. AIX (version 4.1, Power-PC)
'make', 'test', 'make demos' run very well. When I run 'make
install', there are error messages saying that cannot cp bunch
of files to Help directory. After look at Help directory somewhere
under target directory. I found it is not user-writable.
Re-install didn't solve the problem. So I looked at the Makefile
in ./Help directory, Here is the part about install
install:
-if [ ! -d $(HLP_DIR) ] ; then mkdir -p $(HLP_DIR); fi
chmod 0555 $(HLP_DIR)
$(CP) *.html $(HLP_DIR)
chmod 0644 $(HLP_DIR)/*.html
-if [ ! -d $(HLP_DIR)/Img ] ; then mkdir -p $(HLP_DIR)/Img; fi
chmod 0555 $(HLP_DIR)/Img
$(CP) Img/*.gif $(HLP_DIR)/Img
chmod 0644 $(HLP_DIR)/Img/*.gif
I changed those 0555 modes to 0755 modes, then re-installed it.
This time everyting's ok.
2. Solaris (SunOS 5.5, Sparcstation 5)
First, the same problem as stated above.
Second, after compiling and linking, I run test-stk, it was fine.
The (pack (button ....) example worked fine too. But when I tried
to build the demos by 'make demos', it gave me the following
error message:
bowwow:src/STk-3.1.1> make demos
/bin/sh -c "(cd Demos; ../Src/test-stk -f hbrowse README.html)"
*** Error at line 25 of file ../Lib/hash.stk:
Cannot open object file (ld.so.1: ../Src/stk: fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: STk_nil: referenced in ../Extensions/hash.so): "../Extensions/hash.so"
What does this mean? Is here a bug in 'hash.stk' or in 'stk' itself?
When I run 'make demos' on AIX machine there was no problem.
