5. Known Problems

Depending on your hardware configuration and the size of the data set, it might take a few minutes before data is passed between XGobi and XploRe. We obtained the following time measurements on an SGI Octane under IRIX 6.4: XGobi required about 60 sec to pass 3600 observations of an 8-dimensional data set (a total of 28800 values). XploRe needed another 35 sec to process this data. You will receive warnings similar to:

XGobi aiclient airequest: Timed out
XGobi RetStr = # #

These warnings can safely be ignored. After this delay, you can use XGobi and XploRe as usual. Please relate your hardware configuration and the size of your data set to our example to get an estimate on how much time will be required for the initialization in your situation.

In case you find any other problem related to the RPC mechanism or the link between XGobi and XploRe, please send an e-mail to symanzik@galaxy.gmu.edu or to xplinn@amadeus.wiwi.hu-berlin.de.
