Thanks to Kirk Wythers, Andy Liaw and the Splus support folks for
leading me onto a solution to the problem of running Splus ver 6 under
RedHat 7.1. As I mentioned, the GUI interface for the current version
of Splus is not running under RedHat 7.1.
Here is a work-around:
1. Apparently, the file /usr/bin/cut is not installed under RedHat
7.1. You need to find the "cut" file and place it in the /usr/bin
directory. I copied my version from RedHat 7.0 and that worked fine.
If you need a copy let me know and I'll be glad to email you a copy.
2. Apparently there is a "bugglet" in the current version of Splus 6
that causes a java "hang" under certain conditions. This will be fixed
with the next update for version 6.0. Until then, the following works
for me. Edit the script file you use to start Splus. Mine is located
at /usr/local/bin/Splus. Add the following two lines to the top of that
file:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.2.5"
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
With these corrections, Splus seems to be working fine with RedHat 7.1.
Good luck - edward jones
