Problem in installing Open Sees

VISHAL BHATIA · Post by **VISHAL BHATIA** » Mon Aug 27, 2007 10:02 am

Dear All,
I am trying to install opensees 1.7.4 on my system with fedora 5 as the os, the tcl and tk files have already been installed with their libraries but while installing the opensees file, it instructions say that one needs to modify the $HOME variable and also include the bin and lib directories for opensees. Can somebody suggest how to modify the $HOME variable and what modifications are to be made. Also, how to include the bin and lib directories?

Regards,
Vishal Bhatia

you need a Makefile.def .. there are a bunch of ones to look at in the MAKES directory. In this file you need to specify where HOME is. Once
you have specified where this directory is you need to ensure that there are subdirectories lib and bin at this location. this is where the compilation process will place libraries and the .exe

I got the makes directory and the makefile.def of my interest. Now do i have to make the changes inside this file. If yes, then the $ HOME variable is specified at more than one location in this file. Where and how many changes have to be made and what are the changes??

Dear Vishal,
Pl. see my earlier post to Pallavi in this forum. You will get detailed instruction for preparing the Makefile, and a sample Makefile.def.

Let me know, how it goes. All the Best.

Dear Friend

You need to include the bin and library functions before you install opensees. Are u using windows or unix. In case of windows, you require a c++ compiler and tck and tk installed on ur system before opensees can run. In case of unix, check out the message board, there is a detailed procedure for installation of opensees in unix system.

you need to create a bin and lib directory
wherever $HOME is before you build.
