NumRu Installer -- the auto install script of Dennou Ruby products

Last modified: <2007-04-27 06:08:01 koshiro>

This is a Ruby script for auto-installation of Dennou Ruby products. With this installer, you can install Dennou Ruby products much more easily than install manually. Now all packages of Dennou Ruby products related GAVE can be installed. (Ruby-SSL2 and Ruby/Msise90 are not supported.)

Download

numru-install.rb (Ver. 3.4.7)

Required environment

Ruby 1.6.7 or later, which includes URI module as a standard library, is required.

This installer should work on any UNIX OS(Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Cygwin on Windows, etc.), but GNU gzip and GNU patch are required.

We have already checked that this installer works correctly on the following environment:

• Vine Linux 2.6 + Ruby 1.6.7
• Vine Linux 3.1 + Ruby 1.8.2
• Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 + Ruby 1.8.2
• Cygwin(on Windows XP Professional) + Ruby 1.8.4

How to use

Type the following command:

$ ruby numru-install.rb

And answer several quiestions.

If your Internet connection is via a firewall or proxy, you must set the environment variable "http_proxy" with the following syntax:

(sh, bash) $ export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:8080/

(csh, tcsh) % setenv http_proxy http://your.proxy.server:8080/

And if your have to use passive mode when you connect FTP server through the firewall, you must set the environment variable "FTP_PASSIVE_MODE":

(sh, bash) $ export FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES

(csh, tcsh) % setenv FTP_PASSIVE_MODE YES

After installation, make a point of checking your environment variable "PATH" and "RUBYLIB".

Patches for Cygwin

For some products, installation is failed on Cygwin environment. NumRu Installer "numru-install.rb" uses patches to solve this problem:

• DCL C version (5.3.x) -- dcl53c_cygwin.patch.gz (Thanks to Endo-san)
  • Change first lines of csh script "dclcc": #!/bin/csh -f -> #!/bin/tcsh -f (Cygwin package of csh is not provided)
• NetCDF (3.6.1) -- netcdf361_cygwin.patch.gz
  • Comment out the code to create a `whatis' file. (make failure after makewhatis returns status 255)
