Toby" [Brian.Toby@nist.gov] Organization: NIST Center for Neutron Research To: rietveld_l@ill.fr Subject: Installing GSAS/EXPGUI made simpler (I hope) Folks, With the hope that I will make it both simpler to install GSAS & EXPGUI and reduce the number of problems that Bob & I get related to errors in installation, I have created a self-installing .EXE program for Windows and a RPM for Linux. Both install the latest versions of GSAS & EXPGUI, as well as required support files & create shortcuts. Windows: -------- The self installer file (~10 Mb.) is: ftp://ftp.ncnr.nist.gov/pub/cryst/gsas/gsas+expgui.exe The basic instructions are: download the file run it wait while it uncompresses choose options for where short-cuts will be placed choose a directory where the files will be placed wait while it copies files & reboots your machine For more extensive instructions, with screen-shots, see http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/xtal/software/gsas+expgui.html The program has gotten some testing on Win-95, Win-98 and Win-2000. It should work in -NT, but no promises are made for -XP and -ME. Linux: ------ The latest RPM file (~14Mb) is: ftp://ftp.ncnr.nist.gov/pub/cryst/gsas/GSAS-EXPGUI-2001.11.27-1.i386.rpm The basic instructions are: download the file install the file with command like rpm -ihv /tmp/GSAS-EXPGUI-2001.11.27-1.i386.rpm For more information on how to use the RPM file, see the Linux-RPM installation notes: http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/xtal/software/installGSASrpm.html SGI: ---- There is a new version of GSAS (Oct 2001) for the SGI ftp://ftp.lanl.gov/public/gsas/sgi-irix/gsaskit-new.tar.gz as well as an updated version of EXPGUI ftp://ftp.ncnr.nist.gov/pub/cryst/gsas/expgui_ALPHA.tar.gz but sorry, you will have to install Tcl/Tk & BLT on your own (see http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/xtal/software/tclpkgs82sgi.html & http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/xtal/software/tclpkgs82linux.html for hints). Also see the documentation in the gsaskit-new.tar.gz & expgui_ALPHA.tar.gz files. If something does not work, please reread the instructions. If it still does not work, please let me know so that I can try to fix it. Brian ******************************************************************** Brian H.
