Documentation about openMosixview There is a full HTML-documentation about openMosixview included in every package. You find the startpage of the docu in your openMosixview installation directory: openmosixview/openmosixview/docs/en/index.html

The RPM-packages have their installation directories in: /usr/local/openmosixview

12.3.1. Installation of the RPM-distribution

Download the latest version of openMosixview rpm-package. Then just execute e.g.:
rpm -i openmosixview-1.2.rpm
This will install all binaries in /usr/bin To uninstall:
rpm -e openmosixview

12.3.2. Installation of the source-distribution

Download the latest version of openMosixview and unzip+untar the sources and copy the tarball to e.g. /usr/local/.
gunzip openmosixview-1.2.tar.gz tar -xvf openmosixview-1.2.tar

12.3.3. Automatic setup-script

Just cd to the openmosixview-directory and execute
./setup [your_qt_2.3.x_installation_directory]

12.3.4. Manual compiling

Set the QTDIR-Variable to your actual QT-Distribution, e.g.
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.3.0 (for bash) or setenv QTDIR /usr/lib/qt-2.3.0 (for csh)

12.3.5. Hints

(from the testers of openMosixview/Mosixview who compiled it on diffrent linux-distributions, thanks again) Create the link /usr/lib/qt pointing to your QT-2.3.x installation e.g. if QT-2.3.x is installed in /usr/local/qt-2.3.0
ln -s /usr/local/qt-2.3.0 /usr/lib/qt
Then you have to set the QTDIR environment variable to
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt (for bash) or setenv QTDIR /usr/lib/qt (for csh)
After that the rest should work fine:
./configure make
then do the same in the subdirectory openmosixcollector, openmosixanalyzer, openmosixhistory and openmosixviewprocs. Copy all binaries to /usr/bin
cp openmosixview/openmosixview /usr/bin cp openmosixviewproc/openmosixviewprocs/mosixviewprocs /usr/bin cp openmosixcollector/openmosixcollector/openmosixcollector /usr/bin cp openmosixanalyzer/openmosixanalyzer/openmosixanalyzer /usr/bin cp openmosixhistory/openmosixhistory/openmosixhistory /usr/bin
And the openmosixcollector init-script to your init-directory e.g.
cp openmosixcollector/openmosixcollector.init /etc/init.d/openmosixcollector or cp openmosixcollector/openmosixcollector.init /etc/rc.d/init.d/openmosixcollector
Now copy the openmosixprocs binary on each of your cluster-nodes to /usr/bin/openmosixprocs
rcp openmosixprocs/openmosixprocs your_node:/usr/bin/openmosixprocs
You can now execute mosixview
openmosixview
