Software FAQ

1. STGMS does not work for me under RedHat Enterprise Linux. How can I fix it?

   Do the default STGMS installation:

   $ sh ./INSTGMS.bin

   Then update STGMS to apply the fix:

   $ cd ~/STGMS/
$ ./update LAX_VM ./jre/bin/java

   An update window will appear. Follow the instructions on screen.

   Now you may simply start STGM with:

   $ ~/STGMS/STGMS
   
   
2. What software is available for Solaris?

   Please see the Solaris software list.

3. What software is available for Linux?

   Most of the software on our Linux systems are installed and managed using the RedHat Package Management (RPM). You can view a list of the installed packages using the command:

   rpm -qa |less
   

   To view more information about a particular software package use the following command:

   rpm -qi PACKAGE
   

   where PACKAGE is the name of the package.

   Some software that do not ship in a standard Linux distribution and do not make sense to support a non-standard RPM install for are installed in a shared location. Most of our astromony software falls into this category and can be found in the Linux software list.
