Using STeP on CSIL machines


  1. Log on to a UNIX host:
      Two ways to use the CSIL lab machines.
    1. Using CSIL Facilities
    2. Using SSH to run STeP remotely, with a local X server. Please make sure that you set the correct DISPLAY environment variable after loggin in.
      To set the DISPLAY environment variable, use 
       setenv DISPLAY your_IP_address:0
    You may also go to STeP homepage and apply to get a free educational copy. See troubleshooting.

  2. Running STeP:
    1. If you are using a CSIL Linux machine, the program is
        /home/class/cs477/public_html/step/step-linux
    2. If you are using a SUN Machine, the program is 
        /home/class/cs477/public_html/step/step-sun
  3. Troubleshooting: If you cannot run the program, please contact me
    1. Problem: 
                    connection refused: No protocol specified

              Check your DISPLAY and xhost settings.
      Suggestion: Did you use 
       setenv DISPLAY your_IP_address:0
      to set DISPLAY to your local machine? Also, did you use 
       xhost +
      to allow the remote display?

    2. Problem:
      I tried to install STeP in my own linux machine but it doesn't work.
      Suggestion: For the Linux version to work properly, you may have to replace 
      step/bin/.heap/STeP.x86-linux  and
step/bin/.run/run.x86-linux
      with the following files:
