PITFALLS TO AVOID WHEN INSTALLING ANACAD SOFTWARE
Anacad installation procedure

  • Move anacad directory to anacad.old

  • Mount anacad cd

  • Run instix

  • Follow prompts

    • Problems
  • Some of the files used to set up the Anacad software change the environment variable AMPLE_PATH. This causes other programs to work incorrectly. So after installing the anacad software, go to the anacad/com directory and run the following command: grep 'AMPLE_PATH' *
    This will show all files where AMPLE_PATH will be set by the Anacad software. Edit these files so that the new setting of AMPLE_PATH includes the old AMPLE_PATH settings. Usually this will require changing a line from:
    AMPLE_FILE=/net/mentor/disk2/anacad
    to
    AMPLE_FILE=$AMPLE_FILE:/net/mentor/disk2/anacad

  • Also, edit the kshrc.meta file so that it doesn't change the MANPATH. Just add $MANPATH: to the beginning of the line that defines it.
