Re: LAS: initialize_check.sh

[Roland Schweitzer <Roland.Schweitzer@xxxxxxxx>]

Lynn,

Two things you can try.

The goal of the initialize_check.sh script is to save to disk a copy of 
your LAS opening page.  In order to do that we wrote a Perl script that 
is distributed with LAS.  That Perl script is failing in your 
environment (I haven't told you anything you don't know already).

One way around the problem is to substitute a different mechanism for 
rendering that page to disk.  If you have the lynx browser built on your 
system you can modify the scripts to use that instead.  (See: 
http://lynx.browser.org/). 
The another option is to debug the script.  The problem is likely due to 
a difference in the version of the libwww Perl module the script is 
finding on your site versus the one we are using.  If your LAS installed 
the libwww perl module when you installed your LAS, you might try adding 
the lines:

use Config;
use lib ('../xml/perl','../xml/perl/TMAP','.', 
'../xml/perl/install/lib/' . $Config{version},
        '../xml/perl/install/lib/site_perl/' . $Config{version},
        '../xml/perl/install/lib/perl5/' . $Config{version},
        '../xml/perl/install/lib/perl5/site_perl/' . $Config{version});

after the use warning; line.  This will allow the script to find the 
modules installed by LAS.

Try adding the search path to the script and if that doesn't work if it 
were me I wouldn't hesitate to install lynx.  It's what I used when I 
first implemented the idea of automatic monitoring.  It's easy to 
install and is pretty well tested.
