Installing the OMEGA System
System Requirements
The OMEGA system is implemented in Allegro Common
Lisp (ACL). Therefore you need an ACL environment to run OMEGA.
Obtaining the Sources
- You can retrieve the OMEGA sources via Anonymous CVS.
Check out the sources in a directory of your choice. The installation directory is called
INSTALL_DIR in the following. Briefly said, you should follow three steps:
- cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@CVS.ags.uni-sb.de:/CVS/omega login
password: omega
- create the INSTALL_DIR directory and cd into it
- cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@CVS.ags.uni-sb.de:/CVS/omega co CVSROOT
- cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@CVS.ags.uni-sb.de:/CVS/omega co omega
- Compile the OMEGA sources with:
- cd ${INSTALL_DIR}/omega/omega-3/bin/
- edit the script make-omega-dumps
and set the variables in the
first lines to the right values.
- make-omega-dumps
- Start the OMEGA system with
- lisp -I omega-3-emacs-${OS}.dxl
where ${OS} has to be "linux"
on LinuX machines and "solaris" on Solaris/SunOS machines.
- To have the graphical user interface LOUI and
external systems available for OMEGA, you also have to install the MathWeb Software Bus.
After you have successfully installed the MathWeb-SB, you can run
This should start a LOUI with an OMEGA process running in the background.
