Re: [ferret_users] Need help in ferret installation



Hi -
The next release of Ferret will have the gfortran library linked in statically, so that particular issue is unique to Ferret v6.7.  In general as Karl says, the RHEL6 version of Ferret will tend to work best for Ubuntu and the other free Unix operating systems.

The DISPLAY setting is probably already taken care of in your terminal window setup.  In a fresh terminal window, try

"printenv DISPLAY"

Dear ferreters,
     I tried to install Ferrer6.7 in Ubuntu 10.10, following document instructing how to install Ferret. I followed the instructions successfully in installing ferret_executables and customizing ferret_paths. I run the command "$ source /usr/local/ferret_paths", and it did not show any error messages.
          But when i run "$ferret" command i faced an error message saying "ferret: error while loading shared libraries: libgfortran.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Before that it was shown the same error message for want of libreadline.so.5.0. I downloaded the file from ubuntu archives and that error was rectified. I could not find "libgfortran.so.1" in internet where libgfortran.so.3 and above are available. Similar question was asked by somebody but not answered.
     Is this problem with ferret version6.7? If so, please suggest me which version can i install on my Laptop.
   One more query regarding Display setting is that in ferret installation guide, one has to execute the command " % setenv DISPLAY anorak:0.0 ". There it is mentioned that "anork" is theirs workstation, if so what it the name should i have to use to replace anork? 


My Linux kernel: Linux 2.6.35-30-generic-pae #54-Ubuntu i686 GNU/Linux. I hope somebody will give solution to my problem. Thanks in advance.

regards,
-Paul.
