Platform Specific Notes


Windows NT 4.0

You must use JDK 1.1.7B or higher.

OS/2 Warp

The installation directory for Simplicity Professional as well as the Project directory must be located on an HPFS drive.

OS/2 users may wish to execute the simpwps.cmd file. This REXX script will create a WPS object on the OS/2 desktop for starting Simplicity.

We recommend using either jdk114 or jdk117 from IBM. These can be found at http://www.ibm.com/Java/jdk/download/. Do NOT use jdk116, as it contains a bug which will crash the WPS, when you exit from Simplicity. If you are using JDK 1.1.8, be sure to download the fixes from IBM (ftp://ftp.hursley.ibm.com/pub/java/fixes/os2/11/ ).

The debugger needs to have the localhost interface enabled. You can do this by typing the following command in an OS/2 window:

ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up

Note that this will be reset when you next reboot your computer.

The Remote testing tool also needs localhost to be setup correctly for it to work. You can do this by going to System setup, and opening TCP/IP Configuration. On the hostnames tab, go to page 2. Add an entry, where the ip address is your actual ip address, and the Hostname is "localhost". This may not work if you have a setup with dynamic ip addresses.

Linux

Before installing Simplicity, make sure that you have the latest Linux JDK from www.blackdown.org. Simplicity Professional will work properly with either jdk1.1.7_v3 or jdk1.2.2_rc3.

Suse Linux users: the rpm packaged JDK from older Suse distributions contains an incomplete version of libjpeg.so. This causes the jdk to be unable to display jpeg files. To fix this, install the .tar.gz distribution from blackdown (jdk1.1.7), and then copy the libjpeg.so from that distribution over the one in /usr/X11R6/lib.

Macintosh

It is highly recommended that you have at least 64 MB of RAM to run Simplicity Professional. MRJ 2.1.4 is the recommended version of the MRJ.

Solaris

On some Solaris machines, Simplicity Professional will stall shortly after starting. This can be fixed by disabling the JIT. (Uncomment the appropriate line in the startup script.) Solaris 8 users will need to be sure to edit the first line of the shell script as described in the script.

SCO UnixWare

On some SCO machines, Simplicity Professional will stall shortly after starting. This can be fixed by removing the -mx100m argument from the startup script. (Uncomment the appropriate line in the startup script.)
