NAIF Toolkit Installation Instructions for the Sun/Solaris
===========================================================================
 
     This document describes how to install the SPICE NAIF package on Sun
     Computers using the SOLARIS operating system. We recommend that at a
     minimum you look over the sections "System Requirements" and
     "Installing the SPICE NAIF Package" before you begin installing the
     SPICE NAIF package.
 
 
System Requirements
--------------------------------------------------------
 
     Before you begin installing the SPICE NAIF package, you should make
     sure that you have approximately 10 Megabytes of free diskspace. After
     the toolkit has been installed you can delete the file 
     E2.19.1a_naif_gnsedr_SUN.tar which will free up approximately 
     4 MegaBytes of space.
 
 
Time for Installation.
 
     The amount of time required to perform the installation varies, but
     installation typically takes less than 1 minute.
 
 
Installing the SPICE Package
--------------------------------------------------------
 
     You should move the following files to the directory where you want to
     install the SPICE NAIF Package.
 
        E2.19.1a_naif_gnsedr_SUN.tar
        E2.19.1a_naif_gnsedr_SUN.install.csh
 
     (Note: If you are copying the ".tar" file via ftp you should copy it
     in "binary" mode. Use "ascii" mode to copy the ".csh" file.)
 
     Now type the following command.
 
        /bin/csh -f E2.19.1a_naif_gnsedr_SUN.install.csh
 
     The script E2.19.1a_naif_gnsedr_SUN.install.csh will untar the 
     toolkit and, as needed, compile and link all source code products.
 
     If you experience problems with the installation process, first refer
     to the section at the end of this document entitled "Installation
     Problems". If you can't resolve the installation problem there,
     contact NAIF for assistance.

Installation Problems
--------------------------------------------------------
 
     Although the installation does not make a lot of assumptions about
     your computing environment, it must make a few. Installation problems
     usually occur because one of these assumptions is not met by the
     system where the SPICE package is being installed.
 
 
Shell Prompt
 
     In several examples below, we will talk about interacting with the
     UNIX shell. We shall assume that the shell prompts you for input by
     displaying the string:
 
        myprompt>
 
     What your system displays will almost certainly be different.
 
 
UNIX SHELL
 
     It is assumed that you have the UNIX C-shell installed on your machine
     and that it is the normal shell you use when working on your system.
     It is easy to determine if this is in fact the case. At the shell
     prompt type:
 
        myprompt> echo $shell
 
     If you are using the C-shell, you should see the following message on
     your screen.
 
        /bin/csh
 
     If your process responds with some other message, then either you are
     not using the C-shell, or its not in the expected location. To see if
     you have the C-shell available on your system type the following
     command.
 
        myprompt> ls -1 /bin/csh
 
     You should get the following response from your process.
 
        /bin/csh*
 
     If you don't get this, your system doesn't satisfy the installation
     script assumptions. You can't install the SPICE package using these
     instructions.
 
 
uncompress and tar
 
     The SPICE package is delivered via a "tar" file. You must
     have the "tar" program present on your system to
     install the toolkit. You can find out if you have these programs by
     typing:
 
        myprompt> which tar
 
     Your system should respond with messages similar to the following
 
        /bin/tar
 
     If it doesn't you won't be able to extract the toolkit from the "tar"
     file.
