Public Domain Software at MCVL

Public domain software is accessible by all users and is installed in one of two locations depending on the installation method.

/usr/freeware
When installing freeware from SGI the inst package distributions install into /usr/freeware

/usr/apps
This directory is used for all software NOT distributed by SGI

In order to use the software listed below please make sure your PATH environment variable holds the directories /usr/freeware/bin and /usr/apps/bin. To assure these are in your path on the command line type:

echo $PATH

If you do not see /usr/freeware/bin or /usr/apps/bin appear on your screen please add the following to your shell startup file. To know what shell you are using type:

echo $SHELL

tcsh users add the following line to your .cshrc located in your home directory

setenv PATH ${PATH}:/usr/freeware/bin:/usr/apps/bin

bash users add the following line to your .bashrc file located in your home directory

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/freeware/bin:/usr/apps/bin


For maintainers and future maintainers of public domain software

Public domain software typically has a configure script that comes with the source distribution. A typical install for public domain software goes something like this.

DO NOT install like this

./configure
make
(become root)
make install

But here at MCVL we don't install our software in the default location of /usr/local (where most public domain software default installs to). We install in /usr/apps. So your typicall install procedure here is:

DO install like this:

./configure --prefix=/usr/apps
make
(become root)
make install
