How to install and use Gtkconsole
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For Linux users:-
|
|
|
|
Please make sure that you have the following perl packages loaded:-
|
|
|
|
* Gtk2
|
|
|
|
this is best obtained from your distro's packaging system. For
|
|
Ubuntu/Debian users, something like (as root or via sudo):-
|
|
|
|
aptitude install libgtk2-perl
|
|
|
|
or for Fedora users:-
|
|
|
|
yum install perl-Gtk2 perl-Gtk2-Ex-Simple-List perl-Gtk2-Ex-Utils
|
|
|
|
For Windows Users:-
|
|
|
|
This is a bit more complicated but you should either follow the instructions
|
|
on:-
|
|
|
|
http://www.lostmind.de/gtk2-perl/
|
|
|
|
The important thing is that you should be running an activestate perl
|
|
in the 5.8 series. It may work with an earlier 5.6.1 build but I now
|
|
longer have the where withall to test it. Now would be a good time to
|
|
upgrade to the perl suggested on the webpage. The link points directly
|
|
to the activestate download site.
|
|
|
|
You do need the GTK+ runtime.
|
|
You don't need Glade.
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions in "Installation instructions" and you are
|
|
strongly advised to use the method outlined in 2a) and not 2b).
|
|
|
|
Don't bother with running gtk-demo.
|
|
|
|
You will need to reboot the machine (at least once) even though there
|
|
isn't a message that says you should. I *think* I had to reboot twice
|
|
before it worked.
|
|
|
|
I am using a slightly earlier activestate perl than build 819, mine is
|
|
build 815. It still seems to work for me.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Running the program:-
|
|
|
|
cd /spider/gtkconsole
|
|
perl gtkconsole
|
|
|
|
This should work if you are running it on the same machine as the
|
|
cluster. Otherwise, if you get errors try:-
|
|
|
|
perl gtkconsole <your sysop call> localhost 7300
|
|
|
|
where localhost and 7300 are the IP address and port of the cluster
|
|
you want to use.
|
|
|
|
The interface is very basic at the moment, but it will improve and get
|
|
added to as time permits.
|
|
|
|
You will notice that various windows will popup automatically as data
|
|
for those windows arrives. You can't stop any of these at the
|
|
moment. It is a feature.
|
|
|
|
The main window has an entry box at the bottom of the screen. You put
|
|
your normal sysop commands in there.
|
|
|
|
Please report problems and feature requests to the dxspider-support
|
|
list.
