Connecting Remotely from Linux/Unix
First of all, the tools are only set up on mosis4.cse.ucsc.edu (for CMPE 222) or on any of the mada machines (for Jose and my research groups). You must run them remotely on the machines by exporting your X display:
ssh -Y mosis4.cse.ucsc.edu
and you must have an X11 client on your computer. You can do this from home if you have a fast machine. Otherwise, you must use the graduate computing labs.
Connecting Remotely from Win32
To display on a win32 machine (vista), you should do this:
1) Install xming from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=156984&filename=Xming-6-9-0-28-setup.exe 2) Install Xming fonts from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=156984&filename=Xming-fonts-7-3-0-2-setup.exe 3) Install putty from http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe 4) Start Xming 5) start putty (an SSH client) 6) in the "SSH->Tunnels" page of putty, click on "Enable X forwarding" 7) In the Session page of putty, write the hostname (mosis4.cse.ucsc.edu). You can also write your username like this username@mosis4.cse.ucsc.edu Cool Hit "Save" to save the seesion for future use 9) Hit "Open" to start your session
icfb should now work OK, and display to your local machine
Setting up the CAD Tools
On this machine, all of the CAD tools are set up by a single setup file called /mada/software/setup.sh. It is written for bash, so you will need to run this shell first if you do not already. You can check your shell by typing:
echo $SHELL
Setup with bash
In your .bashrc file add the following lines:
source /mada/software/setup.sh
You must now log out and log back in to get the new setup.
Setup with csh or tcsh
If your default shell is cshrc (the SOE default), you can either a) request that the SOE change it via itrequest b) run bash at the end of your .cshrc file or c) use the configuration file that is here:
/mada/software/setup.csh
Note, however, that there may be errors in this file and you should contact SOE tech support if there are differences between it and the bash setup.sh file. THIS IS NOT THE RECOMMENDED SETUP.
You must now log out and log back in to get the new setup.
Set up your lib.defs
You must also copy the system wide technology library to your home directory:
cp /mada/software/techfiles/ncsu/cdssetup/lib.defs ~
