INSTALLATION AND RELEASE NOTES

• INSTALLATION     The distribution consists of two main modules both of which contain all the relevant source code (most of which is released under the GPLv2 License) as well as some precompiled executables .

  SPIDER

  The SPIDER module is used for computations that do not require graphical interaction or visualization. The distribution contains precompiled executables for:

  • GNU/Linux on AMD 32 and 64
  • GNU/Linux on Intel 32
  • OSX 10 on Intel
  • GNU/Linux on SGI Itanium2
  • SGI Irix

  SPIDER is written in FORTRAN 95 and "Makefiles" are provided to build SPIDER on GNU/Linux, IBM AIX, SGI Irix, and some legacy systems. These "Makefiles" will have have to be modified depending on your choice of compiler, location of libraries, etc.

  Installing SPIDER On:   GNU/Linux     SGI Irix

  Web

  The Web module is used for operations that involve graphical interaction with the data such as display of image files. It is a point-and-click interface that uses either the MOTIF/X-WINDOW system or Java (JWeb). The distribution contains precompiled MOTIF/X-WINDOW executables for:

  • GNU/Linux on AMD & Intel
  • SGI Irix

  The MOTIF/X-WINDOW version of Web is written in C and "Makefiles" are provided to build Web on GNU/Linux, SGI Irix, and some legacy systems. These "Makefiles" will have have to be modified depending on your choice of compiler, location of libraries, etc.

  Installing Web On:   GNU/Linux     SGI Irix

  The Java version of Web can be used on GNU/Linux on Intel & AMD, as well as Microsoft Windows. The distribution includes: Java Run Time Environment, Java Advanced Imaging Run Time Environment, and Jweb code.

  Installing JWeb On;   GNU/Linux     Windows
