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 information that is supplemental to the
_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e and the
installation instructions in the _P_e_r_s_o_n_a_l _S_y_s_t_e_m
_A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e. The information listed here is
product-specific; use it with either of those Guides to
install this product.
2.1 _T_o_o_l_T_a_l_k__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s
The ToolTalk Execution product includes these subsystems:
_t_o_o_l_t_a_l_k__e_o_e._s_w._l_i_n_k_s Installation links for _s_w
subsystem
_t_o_o_l_t_a_l_k__e_o_e._s_w._r_u_n_t_i_m_e ToolTalk run-time environment
_t_o_o_l_t_a_l_k__e_o_e._m_a_n._l_i_n_k_s Installation links for _m_a_n
subsystem
_t_o_o_l_t_a_l_k__e_o_e._m_a_n._p_a_g_e_s Manual pages

2.2 _T_o_o_l_T_a_l_k__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 the
ToolTalk Run-time Environment.
You can use the software installation instructions in the
_P_e_r_s_o_n_a_l _S_y_s_t_e_m _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e to install this
product. If you are installing this software for the first
time, the default subsystems are installed if you click the
_I_n_s_t_a_l_l _A_u_t_o_m_a_t_i_c_a_l_l_y button. To install a different set of
subsystems, click the _C_u_s_t_o_m_i_z_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n button and make
your new selections. Then click the _S_t_a_r_t button to launch
the installation.
Note: The listed subsystem sizes are approximate. _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e
_I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e for information on
finding exact sizes.

2.3 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_t_h_o_d
All of the subsystems for ToolTalk can be installed using
IRIX. You do not need to use the miniroot. Refer to the
_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e or the
installation instructions in the _P_e_r_s_o_n_a_l _S_y_s_t_e_m
_A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for complete installation instructions.
2.4 _P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s
You must be running IRIX 5.3 to use Version 1.2.2 of this
product.
The following prerequisites external to ToolTalk apply to
the _t_o_o_l_t_a_l_k__e_o_e._s_w._r_u_n_t_i_m_e subsystem:
+o You must have installed the execution C library
(_e_o_e_1._s_w._i_r_i_x__l_i_b).
+o You must have installed the X11 execution environment
(_x__e_o_e._s_w._e_o_e).
+o You must have installed the TCP/IP networking support
(_e_o_e_2._s_w._t_c_p).
Within ToolTalk, the following prerequisites apply:
+o _t_o_o_l_t_a_l_k__e_o_e._s_w._l_i_n_k_s must always be installed.
+o _t_o_o_l_t_a_l_k__e_o_e._m_a_n._l_i_n_k_s must be installed for the
_t_o_o_l_t_a_l_k__e_o_e._m_a_n._m_a_n_p_a_g_e_s subsystem.
2.5 _O_t_h_e_r__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
ToolTalk uses an installation architecture that makes it
easy to relocate the bulk of the installed files to
directories that have extra space. All the ToolTalk files
are installed under the directory /_u_s_r/_T_o_o_l_T_a_l_k, then those
files are linked back to the appropriate spots under /_u_s_r.
Therefore, if you do not have enough disk space on /_u_s_r to
install the ToolTalk tools, you can install them on an
auxiliary disk and link them back to /_u_s_r automatically.
Here is one example of appropriate commands for installing
locally on a disk named /_d_i_s_k_3 (execute as _r_o_o_t):
llllnnnn ----ssss ........////ddddiiiisssskkkk3333////TTTToooooooollllTTTTaaaallllkkkk ////uuuussssrrrr (location of target of _i_n_s_t)
- 3 -
inst -f /CDROM/dist (location of _i_n_s_t images)
go
These commands link the /_u_s_r/_T_o_o_l_T_a_l_k directory to the
/_d_i_s_k_3 disk, where there is enough space to hold the tools.
The files are then installed on /_d_i_s_k_3, and the
_t_o_o_l_t_a_l_k__e_o_e._s_w._l_i_n_k_s subsystem and _t_o_o_l_t_a_l_k__e_o_e._m_a_n._l_i_n_k_s
subsystem install links pointing to those files from /_u_s_r.
In another example, if you want to install ToolTalk on a
file server and have users mount the software from there,
first install the software on the server as usual:
iiiinnnnsssstttt ----ffff ////CCCCDDDDRRRROOOOMMMM////ddddiiiisssstttt
Then mount the server's files from _s_e_r_v_e_r:/_u_s_r/_T_o_o_l_T_a_l_k on
the user's machine as /_u_s_r/_T_o_o_l_T_a_l_k and install _s_w and _m_a_n
links subsystems:
iiiinnnnsssstttt ----ffff ////CCCCDDDDRRRROOOOMMMM////ddddiiiisssstttt
kkkkeeeeeeeepppp aaaallllllll
iiiinnnnssssttttaaaallllllll ttttoooooooollllttttaaaallllkkkk____eeeeooooeeee....sssswwww....lllliiiinnnnkkkkssss
iiiinnnnssssttttaaaallllllll ttttoooooooollllttttaaaallllkkkk____eeeeooooeeee....mmmmaaaannnn....lllliiiinnnnkkkkssss
ggggoooo
2.6 _S_e_a_r_c_h__p_a_t_h
The ToolTalk commands are installed in the directory
/_u_s_r/_T_o_o_l_T_a_l_k/_b_i_n. They are linked from the directory
/_u_s_r/_s_b_i_n. You should include /_u_s_r/_s_b_i_n in your search
path.
