[Orca-users] Re: Miserable install problems

[Mark Langkau]

Hi Blair,

No output from "orcallator.se" yet. I can see it running in the ps list (as
se.sparc....), but I can't see any output files anywhere. I suspect you are
correct about the bad path, but I'm not quite sure about the imbedded
regex. (It could also be that I've turned 40 since I last had this working
;-) Even so, there aren't any output files to find - even with a bad path.

The install procedure itself is actually not bad. My questions are about
setting the paths as configuration parameters per your instructions, but
needing to tweak paths in the resulting orcallator.cfg file afterwards. My
regex skills are a bit rusty. (Plus I've got that '40' thing working
against me now too ;-)

Step 10 of your install doc says to install the SE toolkit. I've skipped
that step since I already have SE installed and working prior to installing
ORCA, and "configure" finds it during install. Is there something there
that I'm missing and goofing up the install?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Mark
