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 needs to be installed just once, by a system administrator. The client should be installed by the system administrator on each workstation.
To install the VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise - Library Manager, do the following:
The files are installed to /opt/IBMvast/6.0 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/6.0/manager filesystem which is mounted on a logical volume other than the volume on which /opt is mounted, or define /opt/IBMvast/6.0/manager as a symbolic link to a directory on such an alternate filesystem.
If you are using EMSRV, you must set up and start EMSRV after you install the library manager.
