2. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
This chapter lists supplemental information to the _I_R_I_S
_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e. The information listed here is
product- and release-specific; use it with the Installation
Guide to install this product.
2.1 _M_i_n_e_S_e_t__a_n_d__I_R_I_X__r_e_l_e_a_s_e_s
MineSet can run on IRIX 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4. While the same
MineSet software runs on these releases, some auxiliary
software may need to be installed depending on the release
of IRIX that you are running.
Each release requires certain IRIX patches for correct
operation. Patches should only be installed for the
releases specified, they should not be installed on other
releases. The patches included with the release are current
at the time of the distribution, they may be superseded by
future releases. Also, patches may contain multiple
components, some of which are not suitable for an individual
system. For example, some may contain 64 bit libraries,
which are not appropriate on systems where 64 bit libraries
are not installed. In general, you should only install
those patches that do not create installation conflicts.
Patches are not installed by default, you must explicitly
choose to install them.
On IRIX 6.2 systems, patches 1535 and 1840 should be
installed. On IRIX 6.3 systems, patch 2037 should be
installed. On IRIX 6.4 systems, patch 2107 should be
installed. Additionally, patch 1946 and 2107 should be
installed on Origins running IRIX 6.4 and patch 2771 should
be installed on Octanes running 6.4. More information on
these patches is provided later.
For the graphics tools to save or print themselves several
image tools and libraries are required. These are included
in the standard distributions for IRIX 6.3 and IRIX 6.4, but
were not included with the original IRIX 6.2 distribution,
and thus are included with MineSet for 6.2. These include
ifl_eoe.sw.c++, imgtools.sw.tools, and eoe.sw.gltools.
Depending on the distribution medium with which you get
MineSet 2.0.1, there may be four distribution directories,
"dist", "dist6.2", and "dist6.3", and "dist6.4". Installing
from dist will run a script that will choose the correct
distribution directory for your release; you should choose
OK when the script runs. Alternatively, you can install
from the correct distribution for your release. All
- 2 -
distribution directories contain the same MineSet software,
the only difference is that they provide different patches
and auxiliary software for the various IRIX releases.
2.2 _M_i_n_e_S_e_t__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s
The MineSet product is comprised of base, client, server,
and books components. It includes these subsystems:
MineSet.sw.base Required software for any

2.3 _M_i_n_e_S_e_t__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m__D_i_s_k__S_p_a_c_e__R_e_q_u_i_r_e_m_e_n_t_s
This section lists the subsystems (and their sizes) of
MineSet.
If you are installing this product for the first time, the
subsystems marked ``default'' are the ones that are
installed if you use the ``go'' menu item. To install a
different set of subsystems, use the ``install,''
``remove,'' ``keep,'' and ``step'' commands in _i_n_s_t to
customize the list of subsystems to be installed, then
select the ``go'' menu item.
Note: The listed subsystem sizes are approximate. Refer to
the _I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for information
on finding exact sizes.

2.4 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_t_h_o_d
All of the subsystems for MineSet can be installed using
IRIX. You do not need to use the miniroot. Refer to the
_I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for complete installation
instructions.
2.5 _P_a_t_c_h_e_s
MineSet requires several IRIX patches for correct operation.
The specific patches to be installed depend on the IRIX
release that you are running. The patches included with the
release are current at the time of the distribution, they
may be superseded by future releases. Also, patches may
contain multiple components, some of which are not suitable
for an individual system. For example, some may contain 64
bit libraries, which are not appropriate on systems where 64
bit libraries are not installed. In general, you should
only install those patches that do not create installation
conflicts. Patches are not installed by default, you must
explicitly choose to install them.
2.5.1 _P_a_t_c_h_e_s__f_o_r__I_R_I_X__6_._2 IRIX 6.2 requires two patches.
Patch 1535 is a fix to the font library. Failure to install
this patch may result in the Tree Visualizer core dumping
when navigating through the scene.
Patch 1840 is a fix to the Motif libraries. Without this
patch, the tool manager or the Tree Visualizer may core dump
when bringing up a color chooser. Also, tearing off menus
in the visual tools, and then reopening the files may result
in a core dump.
2.5.2 _P_a_t_c_h_e_s__f_o_r__I_R_I_X__6_._3 IRIX 6.3 requires patch 2037.
This is a patch to the Motif libraries. Without this patch,
tearing off menus in the visual tools and then reopening the
file may result in a core dump.
2.5.3 _P_a_t_c_h_e_s__f_o_r__I_R_I_X__6_._4 IRIX 6.4 requires two patches.
Patch 2107 fixes the Motif libraries. Without this patch,
tearing off menus in the visual tools and then reopening the
file may result in a core dump.
- 6 -
Additionally, patch 1946 should be installed on Origins, and
patch 2771 should be installed on Octanes. Without these
patches, fonts will be displayed incorrectly in some visual
tools when displaying over the network. patch 2771 for
Octanes replace patch 1953
2.6 _P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s
MineSet_server.sw.datamove requires eoe.sw.svr4net, which is
available as part of the standard IRIX distribution.
All Visualization tools in MineSet_client require
ifl_eoe.sw.c++ versions 1.1.1 or later, imgtools.sw.tools
version 3.0 or later, and eoe.sw.gltools (any version).
Note that these versions were not released as part of the
original IRIX 6.2 release, but are included as part of the
MineSet 6.2 distribution.
All Visualization tools in MineSet_client require Open
Inventor 2.1.1 Execution Only Environment
(inventor_eoe.sw.inventor).
MineSet_client.sw.mapviz: Requires ToolTalk Execution Only
Environment (tooltalk_dev.sw.links and
tooltalk_eoe.sw.runtime) Release 1.2.2 or later.
The gfx file creation capability of
MineSet_client.sw.mapviz: Requires the i3dm tool, part of
demos.sw.tools. Since the Map Visualizer comes with many
gfx files that can be used, creating additional gfx files is
not required and thus the installation process does not
enforce this prerequisite.
The monitor capability of MineSet_client.sw.mapviz and
MineSet_client.sw.treeviz (which allows automatic rereading
of data when a file is updated): Requires
desktop_eoe.sw.fam to be installed. Since use of the
monitoring capability is optional, the installation process
does not enforce this prerequisite.
The database access capabilities of
MineSet_server.sw.datamove: Requires Oracle version 7.2 or
later to be installed on the same machine as the Data Mover
or Informix Online (any version) or Sybase 10.0 or later.
MineSet_common.books.MineSet_UG: Requires insight.sw.data
MineSet_client.sw.eviviz, MineSet_client.sw.mapviz,
MineSet_client.sw.ruleviz, MineSet_client.sw.scatterviz,
MineSet_client.sw.splatviz, and MineSet_client.sw.treeviz:
24 bit hardware and at least 32 MB memory is recommended.
- 7 -
Note: Colors and graphics will be degraded on 8 bit
machines. Also, the main memory recommendation is difficult
to assess, since it greatly depends on the amount of data
being managed by the visualization tools on the client side.
2.7 _D_e_f_a_u_l_t_s__F_i_l_e_s
The Tree Visualizer, Map Visualizer, Scatter Visualizer,
Splat Visualizer, Rule Visualizer and Data Mover store
several defaults files in the directories
/usr/lib/MineSet/treeviz, /usr/lib/MineSet/mapviz,
/usr/lib/MineSet/scatterviz, /usr/lib/MineSet/splatviz,
/usr/lib/MineSet/ruleviz, and /usr/lib/MineSet/datamove,
respectively. These files provide default values for many
tool configuration options. A default option can be
overridden either by resetting the value in a tool
configuration file, or by creating a .MineSet directory in
your home directory and placing defaults files in there.
See the online book for more information about defaults
files.
For typing convenience, the symbolic link /usr/lib/mineset
has been created to point to /usr/lib/MineSet, and the two
can be used interchangeably.
2.8 _F_i_l_e_s__N_o_t__L_i_s_t_e_d__b_y__vvvv_eeee_rrrr_ssss_iiii_oooo_nnnn_ssss
The directory /usr/lib/MineSet/www/examples is created based
on the examples installed, and will not show up when using
the version command.
