Installation of JETDSP.
There are 7 stages to the installation of jetdsp.
- Download the tarball.
There are currently 3 versions, one each for IDL 5.3, IDL 5.4 and IDL 5.5. The latest version, 2.3.5, is only available for IDL 5.5.
- Unzip and untar the tarball
This can be done by using the unix command, 'tar -xvzf jetdsp_5.5.tar.gz'
- Change into new directory created.
This will have a name such as 'jetdsp_5.5'
- Edit the file "configure" to set the destination directories for the various components of the installation.
- Run the configuration file by typing '
./configure'. (You may need to use 'chmod u+x configure' first to set the permission) This will create some necessary files using the directories you specified.
- Check that the Makefile generated will copy the JETDSP files into the desired destinations.
- Type '
make install' to install JETDSP
Once this has been done it should be possible to run JETDSP by typing 'jetdsp' at the command line.
Adding other data access methods.
Various parts of the full JETDSP code require libraries not supplied with the code. If these have been installed at the local site then they can be turned on. For example if the MDS+ library has been installed then MDS+ access can be added. To do this:
- Edit the '
jetdsp.conf' file created in the install procedure. By default this will be in '/usr/local/etc'. The USE_MDSPLUS value should be changed to 1.
- Make sure that the MDS+ directory is included in the IDL_PATH variable. JETDSP extends this variable temporarily when it is run, so if this is not set up already, you could modify the 'jetdsp' script to do this.
