Step 2: Running the Install Program
Before you can run MemoryScape, you must obtain a licence. You can request one by email at
license@roguewave.com.
This section describes how you install a new version of MemoryScape. Before starting, you should read the
MemoryScape Release Notes available for download at
http:// www.roguewave.com/support/product-documentation/totalview.aspx. In addition, some operating systems may need to be patched. For more information, see the
TotalView Platforms and System Requirements guide.
Here is the procedure for installing MemoryScape:
1 (Optional) Go to the system upon which you will be installing MemoryScape and become the root user:
su root
In some circumstances (particularly on a Macintosh), you’ll want to use the
sudo command instead of
su. If you use the
sudo command, you’ll be typing
sudo ./Install instead of
./Install in step 2.
Installing MemoryScape as the root user prevents users from modifying the software. However, you should not run MemoryScape as root.
2 Go to the directory containing the files extracted from the downloaded tar file and then start the Install program by typing:
./Install
For information on using this command, type ./Install -help. If you use any of the options described in this displayed information, the installation procedure is no longer interactive.
3 The Install program asks you to accept the license terms for MemoryScapte. You can respond Yes to accept, No to decline, or ? to view the license terms. You must accept the license terms to continue the installation.
4 The Install program asks that you name an installation directory. If the directory you specify does not exist, the program requests a new location, effectively meaning the directory you specify must already exist.
If you do not enter a name, the installation directory will either be/usr/toolworks or /opt/toolworks—this is system-dependent. Type a period “.” to place MemoryScape in your current directory.
This manual refers to the installation directory’s pathname as installdir.
The Install program then creates a toolworks directory and places two subdirectories within it:
memoryscape.version. This is where
Install places MemoryScape.
flexlm-version: This is where
Install places the license manager.
5 You are now asked to select which components you wish to install.
If you are installing MemoryScape for multiple platforms in a common NFS directory, you only need to install the common components once.
6 The Install program asks if it should create a symbolic link (named memoryscape) to this installation directory.
If you are not the root user, Install cannot create the link, so you should answer “n” (no). If Install cannot create the link, you can ignore its complaints and continue installing MemoryScape by pressing Enter.
7 If you became root using su, exit from root after Install concludes by typing:
exit
8 Test if MemoryScape was successfully installed by typing:
installdir/toolworks/memoryscape.version/bin/memoryscape
MemoryScape prints information that includes a version number and a message indicating that a license file is not installed.
If MemoryScape cannot initialize the license manager, it prints the following message:
Unable to initialize MemoryScape license
If you see this message, you need to confirm that you did install the license. You may need to set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to the installation directory. (This variable is described in the next step.)
