1. Basics

Currently the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) mechanism and the XGobi/XploRe link are only available on some UNIX system such as Sun/Sparc stations, SGI, DEC alphastations, Data General, and some LINUX platforms. We would like to hear if you have been able to port this link to another platform.

If you want to use the XGobi/XploRe link, please follow the instructions at the XGobi Web site as well. Download and install the XGobi files according to those rules.

In your .cshrc file in your home directory (or any similar file that is executed when you log into your computer system) you have to set a few environment variables that point to the directories where the relevant files are located:

setenv XGOBIDIR /Users/symanzik/axx/xgobi
setenv XPL4HOME /Users/symanzik/axx/xplore
setenv XPL4PROG $XPL4HOME/src
setenv XPL4LIB  $XPL4HOME/lib
setenv XPL4DATA $XPL4HOME/data

Please modify these lines accordingly on your system.

The XGobi/XploRe link is one segment of the ArcView/XGobi/XploRe environment. Please refer to http://www.public.iastate.edu/~arcview-xgobi/homepage.html, for more details on the ArcView/XGobi direction. More details on the ArcView/XploRe direction will be available soon.
