Installation Instructions

NOTE: The Windows version of this application requires the installation and set-up of an X Server as a helper application prior to its use. A free X Server is provided as a separate download, however our recommendation is that you purchase a copy of Hummingbird Communications' Exceed (http://connectivity.hummingbird.com/products/nc/exceed/index.html).

To install the free X Server, download the separate X Server distribution package, extract its contents, and follow the directions in the README.txt file of the root directory (directory to which the download was extracted).

You may need to set your DISPLAY variable.
set DISPLAY=<your machine name or ip>:0.0
.
example: set DISPLAY=192.67.226.239:0.0
.
You may need to set your XKEYSYMDB variable to point at the XKeysymDB *file*
.
example: set XKEYSYMDB=C:\Program Files\SEE-IT\XKeysymDB

For all other X Servers, follow the installation instructions received with those applications.

If you are using Exceed 6.0.x, download and extract the separate Documents download, and follow the instructions in EXCEED60.txt. Also, Exceed has a bug in their X Servers that can be fixed with the patch provided in exceed.60.tar.gz.

If you are using other versions of Exceed and you have problems launching SEE-IT, follow the instructions in EXCEED.txt. Exceed has a bug in some versions that can be overcome by following these instructions.

The separate Documents download also includes a SEE-IT User Guide. Appendix B of the User Guide provides specific instructions for some particular X Servers.

After installation of an X Server (if required; Windows only), install SEE-IT by extracting the contents of the SEE-IT platform-specific download package. To launch SEE-IT, see the UNIX_INSTALL.txt file (Linux, SGI) or the WINDOWS_INSTALL.txt file (Win32) in the /docs directory.

You do not need to download or install the SEDRIS SDK to use this tool. See the README.txt file and the User Guide in the /docs folder of the download for usage instructions.
