LKB under Ubuntu on Mac

[Emily M. Bender]

Hi,

I've got Ubuntu running under Parallels on my MacBook Pro,
and I thought I'd see if I could install the LKB.  I realize
this is not a standard configuration, so I wouldn't be surprised
if this is not possible, but I am a little surprised at the
particular error that I'm getting:

I've done the automated install, and added the requisite lines
to my .emacs.  

When I do M-x lkb, I get errors (see the buffer included below).

The file libXm.so.3 is installed in ~/delphin/lib/linux.x86.32.

Does anyone have any ideas about why this file isn't being found?

Thanks,
Emily

Something needs to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as the library is in a
wierd place.  This can be done by loading  delphin/lkb/etc/dot.bashrc,
and making sure you start emacs from a shell, not the panel.

Alternatively, you can include the universe repositories and
$sudo apt-get install libmotif3
which puts the library you want in the standard place.

Thanks, Francis.  I'm happy to report that that works, and I am
able to run the lkb on my mac under ubuntu under parallels.  The
dog barks!

For the archives, the path to dot.bashrc within DELPHINHOME is
actually this:  ${DELPHINHOME}/lkb/etc/dot.bashrc

i suspect you are not using the `dot.emacs' file installed as part of
the DELPH-IN tree?  i recommend you actually include that file in your
personal `.emacs', e.g.

  (let ((root (or (getenv "DELPHINHOME") "/home/ebender/delphin")))
    (if (file-exists-p (format "%s/lkb/etc/dot.emacs" root))
      (load (format "%s/lkb/etc/dot.emacs" root) nil t t)))

the DELPH-IN `dot.emacs' actually adjusts LD_LIBRARY_PATH, such as to
include the DELPH-IN library directory, i.e. enabling the LKB to see
the correct Motif library.  likewise, [incr tsdb()], as of late, will
look for an external library, which again depends on LD_LIBRARY_PATH
including the appropriate, platform-specific DELPH-IN directory.

in case you were actually including the DELPH-IN `dot.emacs' already,
please let me know.  we are keen to make the automated installer work
well across the various platforms!

Hi Stephan,

I was indeed including the dot.emacs file (as specified), but
didn't get the desired behavior until I followed Francis's tip
and also included the dot.bashrc that's provided.  Both the LKB
and the fine system work now :-)

hi again, emily,

hmm, that is potentially troubling.  any chance you have other code in
your personal `.emacs' that could interfere?  e.g. if you had your own
function definition for allegro() (as we all used to have :-), and the
DELPH-IN `dot.emacs' was loaded before your (re-)definition?

in future versions, i can hide all functions internal to DELPH-IN in a
separate name space, so as to avoid such name conflicts; but for me to
sleep well now, it would be good confirming the above hypothesis :-).

meta-level, i suggest we take the LKB list off this thread for now ...
