Quick fix for 3dt version 0.3.0 on Unix-like systems (that
includes Linux and Mac OS X):
Due to an oversight, the shell script that is meant to run 3dt on
Unix-like systems ended up with DOS-style line-endings and can for
that reason not be executed correctly. To fix this, the superfluous
carriage return characters have to be removed as follows (after
installing 3dt successfully, see below):
- Open a terminal window.
- Enter the command
cd [3dt-path]
where [3dt-path] is where you installed 3dt.
- Now enter the following lines in order:
cd bin
mv 3dt 3dt-original
tr -d '\r' <3dt-original >3dt
chmod +x 3dt
You should now be able to execute 3dt normally. On most Linux system,
the installer should have produced an icon on your desktop. If that
doesn't work or if you're on Mac OS, you can either call 3dt from the
command line by typing
[3dt-path]/3dt
or try to double-click on that file (after possibly copying to your
desktop).
Incidentally, the shell script that executes Systre in batch mode has
the same problem when installed from this version and can be fixed in
Potential problem running the installer:
If your system does not allow you to execute JAR files
by double-clicking them, open a terminal window, move to the directory
the file is in (usually your desktop) and enter something like
java -jar GavrogInstaller-0.3.0alpha.jar
That should do the trick. Remember that in any case you need to have
Java Version 1.5 (a.k.a. 5.0) or later properly installed.
