The library manager holds your VisualAge Smalltalk source code. The VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise - Library Manager should be installed before installing VisualAge Smalltalk Client. The Manager should be installed first, on a server accessible by those application programmers who will be using VisualAge. The Manager can be installed just once, by a system administrator. The client should be installed by the system administrator on each workstation.
Note: | The installer writes installation status messages to its 'stdout' stream. These messages will appear within the dtterm or xterm where the installer was started. When the installation is finished, this window will show a Finished message. |
To install the VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise - Library Manager, do the
following:
Note: On some Unix platforms, problems have been reported on the Select Features
screen. After selecting a new feature to install, sometimes the
Next button is not enabled due to an error in synchronization of
the features. To correct this problem, select the Back
button and then on the License Agreement screen, select the Accept
button. The Next button on the Select Features screen should
then be enabled.
The files are installed to /opt/IBMvast/5.5 directory.
The size of the library manager will grow considerably as optional features are loaded and as source code accumulates during the course of a development effort. It is possible to install the library manager on a filesystem other than /opt, and to run the EMSRV daemon with the library manager on the alternate filesystem. This may be a convenient configuration for managing the growth of the library manager and for maintenance backups.
To install the library manager on an alternate filesystem you must complete a couple of steps manually. Before performing the install, create a /opt/IBMvast/5.5/manager filesystem which is mounted on a logical volume other than the volume on which /opt is mounted, or define /opt/IBMvast/5.5/manager as a symbolic link to a directory on such an alternate filesystem.
Note: | The filesystem on which the library manager resides must be mounted on a local drive. The EMSRV daemon will not operate properly if the library manager file is on a remote NFS filesystem. |
If you are using EMSRV, you must set up and start EMSRV after you install the library manager.
