Installation Guide
Portability
Amdb was developed under Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6 (both x86
and Sparc) using JDK 1.1.6 and Swing 1.0.2. It is expected to work under higher
versions of JDK but has not been tested. It requires use of the libgist v.2.0
libraries. The analysis features require the use of hMETIS, a hypergraph
paritioning package from the Univ. of Minnesota. This package is available for
several platforms as well.
Since JDK, Swing and hMETIS are portable, we expect amdb
to be portable, but have not done extensive porting ourselves. The only platform that is
currently supported is Solaris 2.6 (both Intel and Sparc). Before you
port amdb to other platforms, please check the libgist home page
and see if anybody has done it for you already. If not, and you succeed in
porting, contact us at gist@postgres.berkeley.edu!
All of the software described below is available from the referenced software
repositories. We do not provide or support these packages; if they are
not installed on your computer, please ask your system administrator for
assistance.
UNIX Installation Guide
Requirements
Procedure
- Install JDK, Swing, and hMETIS.
- Make the hMETIS executable accessible from your PATH variable.
- Install the libgist v.2.0 package.
- Unpack the amdb v.1.0 package.
-
Set the AMDBHOME environment variable to the root of the amdb directory
hierarchy.
-
Run gmake from the $AMDBHOME/src directory -- it will
recursively make amdb, libgist, and the pre-packaged extensions.
Note, with this release the analysis metrics can be computed only from
the command line driver program, gistcmdline.
-
Add $AMDBHOME/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
-
The script amdb in the $AMDBHOME/bin directory will run amdb.
