[ferret_users] Installation problem in IBM_AIX
Dear Ferreters:
I am a user of Ferret in Linux for several years, and want to install
Ferret in IBM AIX computers in NOAA World Weather Building where
almost all pepole are using Grads. I believe pepole will like Ferret,
based on my experience in Ferret and Grads. However, I encountered a
problem during installation procedure:
I ftp all the files via anonymous ftp at
ferret.wrc.noaa.gov
cd pub/ibm_aix
binary
prompt
mget
The files are put at my user directory:
b1n15 /gpfsuser/g03/wx52bh/TOOL/FERRET 251 > ls
FERRET_VERSION_HERE_IS_v445 fer_executables.tar.Z
Fpatch ferret/
README ferret_cdf_style_guide.doc
README.AIX
ferret_install_and_update_guide.ps
README_about_mc_datasets
ferret_install_and_update_guide.txt
fer_dsets/ mc_datasets.tar.Z
fer_dsets.tar.Z patch_20jan97.tar.Z
fer_environment.tar.Z required_installation_files.html
fer_environment.tar.Z.pre20030728
directory ferret and fer_dsets were created.
The installation procedure (1) was successful.
The installation procedure (2) have a problem in "finding" the
fer_dsets/. When I entered the abosolute path for fer_dsets
/gpfsuser/g03/wx52bh/TOOL/FERRET/fer_dsets
I got the following message:
(1,2, or 3) --> 2
Setup ferret_paths...
Enter the complete path of the directory where the 'fer_environment'
tar file was installed (FER_DIR). The location recommended
in the FERRET installation guide was '/usr/local/ferret'.
FER_DIR --> /gpfsuser/g03/wx52bh/TOOL/FERRET/ferret
Enter the complete path of the directory where the 'fer_dsets'
tar file was installed (FER_DSETS).
FER_DSETS --> /gpfsuser/g03/wx52bh/TOOL/FERRET/fer_dsets
The FERRET demonstration data files are not
in /gpfsuser/g03/wx52bh/TOOL/FERRET/fer_dsets...
Enter the complete path of the directory where the 'fer_dsets'
tar file was installed (FER_DSETS).
FER_DSETS -->
It seems that the installation software can not find the directory
which IS created correctly. What is the problem? Did I do something
wrong?
If somebody did install Ferret in AIX computer, please help me the
problem. Otherwise, I wish the Ferret developers look into the
problem. I tried to install Ferret for several times, and got the same
problem which never happened in Linux version.
Thanks
