If you have already installed Arc Version 1.04, we recommend that you install version 1.06. You may also need to get an updates file; consult http://www.stat.umn.edu/arc/update.html for more information.
% gunzip arc.shar.gz
% mkdir /APPS/lib/Arc
% mv arc.shar /APPS/lib/Arc/.
% cd /APPS/lib/Arc % /bin/sh arc.shar
/APPS/lib/Arc
, you will need to edit
arcinit1.lsp
to have the right path. In arcinit1.lsp
, edit the line
(defparameter *home-path* "/APPS/lib/Arc/")to have the correct path. Do not forget the final "/"! To be sure that you have changed every instance of APPS, you can use the following commands (thanks to Goran Arnoldsson):
% rm arc.shar % grep /APPS *This will give you a listing of any occurrences of /APPS that have not been changed, and you can change them.
% xlispstat savews.lspwhere
xlispstat
starts Xlisp-Stat (and so may be different on your
system). This will create a file
arc.wks
in the current directory that is the workspace file for
Arc.
arc
is a shell script that will start Xlisp-Stat
using the workspace you have created. You will need to edit this file to get
the right command for starting Xlisp-Stat (if it is other than the default of
xlispstat
), and also to get the correct path if
RCLIB=/APPS/lib/Arcis not correct. Copy the file
arc
to /usr/local/bin
or some
equivalent place, and make sure that it is public and executable
(e.g., chmod ugo+x arc
).
Arc can now be started by any user by typing
% arcIf you run Xlisp-Stat under emacs, you may want to modify arc, probably by changing
xlispstat
to
whatever you use to start Xlisp-Stat under emacs. If you find that this
shell script doesn't work, and you fix it, please send email to
arc@stat.umn.edu.
Extras
has a text file and a file updates.lsp
that is initially empty. Any file ending in .lsp
or .fsl in this directory will be loaded (in alphabetical order)
every time that Arc is run.
For example, if the file getpic.lsp
is in this directory, then it
will be loaded for all users. If an updates.lsp
file is
released, it should replace the dummy file in this directory.
Check
http://www.stat.umn.edu/arc/update.html for the most recent updates.lsp
file.
Extras
directory as a subdirectory from the directory in which Arc is started.
The user's local Extras
file takes precedence over the global
directory, if files of the same name appear in both.
Extras-home
contains a few files that some users may
wish to load (such as getpic.lsp
, which is used to produce LaTeX
output from graphs). These files can be moved to the global
Extras
directory, or users can link to them in their local
Extras
directory. Additional extras are available from
http://www.stat.umn.edu/arc/addons.html.
arc.shar
and also the sub-directory
Arc
that contains all
the .fsl
files. The directory Data contains lots of data
files.
