How
do I set a machine up to use Matlab with AFS and linux?
|
1) The first thing you need
to do in order to access your AFS Matlab Directories from linux is set
up AFS on your machine. Please see How does one load AFS on their linux box
topic for more information.
2) After loading AFS on your machine and rebooting, log back into your
userid.
3) After logging back into your user ID, then type 'klog YourUserID' to
log into AFS. After you finish with your AFS session, type unlog to
log yourself off AFS.
4) In order to run Matlab, you can change
directory directly into the AFS directory where Matlab is running by typing:
cd /afs/cc.lehigh.edu/common/i386_linux24/mathworks/bin
and then type ./matlab and the Matlab program should run across the
network for you.
If you were not able to change into the mathworks directory, you may not
be currently logged into AFS. Try logging into AFS again and then
changing into the AFS directory.
5) To simplify your life, you may wish to set up a soft link at an
appropriate place on your machine. To do this log in as root on
your machine and type the following command:
ln -s /afs/cc.lehigh.edu/common/i386_linux24/mathworks/bin/matlab
/usr/local/bin/matlab
*Note: If you just type the word matlab to run the program
and if there is a local copy of a matlab program
on your computer already, you may be running the local copy of the program.
The program that will run will be the first occurence of the matlab
program it finds in your PATH. You can see from which directory
you are running a program by typing "which matlab". If it is not being
run from /usr/local/bin, then you are probably running a local copy of the
program.
A special note of thanks to Steve L and Jim E
for getting applications mounted on AFS space.
