EDSS Executable Updates

Occasionally we may make available updates to some of our MCNC Environmental Modeling Center's EDSS executables. If you have a prior installation of EDSS, you may obtain the updates here and install them without reinstalling the whole system.
(NOTE: one way to save the gzipped files from the browser is to right click on the link, and then use the "Save Link/Target as" option.)

The following updates are available and Required for the Pave 2.1.1 Release (May 31, 2002)

Known bugs and workarounds:

To save images, do not use a full path name in the "Save (Image) as:_popup window", use the file name only. The file will be saved in the directory where you started PAVE.
The save mpeg animation feature doesn't work due to a problem with mpeg2encode delegate within imagemagick, please use save as animated gif as an alternative.

PAVE Executables

PAVE 2.1.1 Executables (May 31, 2002)

PAVE version 2.1.1 contains several minor bug fixes to PAVE version 2.1.0, which was released on May 03, 2002. The last publicly available version was 1.7.1. If you have a version prior to 2.1.0 and would like to upgrade, you may download the appropriate tar files containing the executables provided for the updates. See below for the installation instructions for each executable. For a description of recent enhancements to PAVE, see: paveHistory.html.

pave_exe_v2.1.1.IRIX6_mips.tar.gz (updated May 31, 2002)
pave_exe_v2.1.1.SunOS5_sparc.tar.gz (updated May 31, 2002)
pave_exe_v2.1.1.Linux2_x86.tar.gz (updated May 31, 2002)
pave_exe_v2.1.1.AIX4_rs6000.tar.gz (updated May 31, 2002)
pave_exe_v2.1.0.HP_UX11_9000.tar.gz ( May 03, 2002, our access to the HP machine is down)
pave_exe_v2.1.1.OSF1_alpha.tar.gz (updated May 31, 2002)

To extract the executables for each platform:

cp pave_exe_v2.1.1.xxxxx.tar.gz $EDSS_DIR
cd $EDSS_DIR
gunzip pave_exe_v2.1.1.053102.tar.gz | tar xvf -

(note: depending on the platform, the following executable updates are available in the pave_exe_v2.1.1.xxxxx.tar.gz files:
pave_exe_v2.1.1.053102
Browser.Linux2_x86.041102
visd_v2.1.1.053102
visd64_v2.1.0.050302

To install PAVE 2.1.1:

For testing purposes save the pave version 2.1.1 executable in the directory $EDSS_DIR/$EDSS_ENV/bin/OPTIMIZE/

Use the PAVE_EXE environment variable to specify the path to the Pave 2.1.1 executable.

setenv PAVE_EXE $EDSS_DIR/$EDSS_ENV/bin/OPTIMIZE/pave_exe_v2.1.1.xxxx

If you would prefer to install Pave 2.1.1 into the default location do the following:

(if pave_exe is not a link already) mv pave_exe pave_exe.old_version
(if pave_exe is linked to the old executable, remove the link, and link to the new executable)
ln -s pave_exe_v2.1.1.053102 pave_exe

If you would like to revert to the old version for some reason, you can do the following before starting PAVE:

setenv PAVE_EXE $EDSS_DIR/$EDSS_ENV/bin/OPTIMIZE/pave_exe.old_version

To install Browser 2.1.0 linux executable:

cd $EDSS_DIR/$EDSS_ENV/bin/OPTIMIZE/ mv Browser Browser.pre.2.1.0 ln -s Browser.Linux2_x86.041102 Browser

Install Visd 2.1.1 Executables (May 3, 2002)

If you do any file browsing on remote machines, you should also install PAVE's visd. If you wish to visualize files larger than 2 GB using IRIX 6, replace your visd with visd64 and follow the directions in paveHistory.html to use visd64 to visualize very large files.

To install visd 2.1.1, do the following:

cd $EDSS_DIR/$EDSS_ENV/bin/OPTIMIZE
mv visd visd.old_version
ln -s visd_v2.1.1.xxxx visd

graph2d.blt.tar.gz BLT configuration file required for the -save2d option
airs.lookup.tar.gz airs.lookup file required for -obsidtable option

I/O API

M3MERGE
M3MERGE available with the I/O API Tools, is required with PAVE v2.1.0 in order to export multiple variables to a netCDF file.

See the M3MERGE.html to learn how to use M3MERGE

If you already have the latest version of I/O API installed on your machine, you may not need to download it again.

Please verify that m3merge is in your path, by doing a which m3merge. If it isn't, download the latest version of the I/O API (binaries, source, and documentation), and follow the instructions to add the executable to your path.
AVAIL.html

AIRS2M3
The AIRS2M3 program is provided to read pollutant monitor values from an AIRS AMP350 file, convert to PPM, and output the result to an I/O API "observational-data" file. The AIRS2M3 program replaces the alpha version of the obs2api.x executable.

See the AIRS2M3.html to learn how to use AIRS2M3

AIRS2M3 will be released with the upcoming I/O API Tools Version 2.2 release. For now, please download the source code, makefile, and executables, and test case from here:

airs2m3_build.tar.gz
airs2m3_test.tar.gz (see the readme file)

To install airs2m3, do the following:

cp airs2m3_build.tar.gz $EDSS_BIN
cd $EDSS_BIN
gunzip airs2m3_build.tar.gz
tar -xvf airs2m3_build.tar
ln -s ./airs2m3_build/airs2m3.xxxx airs2m3

The next version of binaries for airs2m3 will be statically compiled. For now, if you need to build airs2m3, use the Make.sgi, Make.sun, and Make.linux scripts. If the compilers that are referenced in the Makeinclude.xxxx files don't exist on your system, you will need to also rebuild the ioapi library and the netcdf library on your system.

Convert from ImageMagick Version 5.4.x (03/24/02)

Pave was tested on the SGI, Sun, and Windows NT/2000 using convert version 5.4.4 using binaries downloaded and 
installed following the directions below:

Instructions from the latest release Quickstart.txt
Download the appropriate binaries from:
ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries 

The Unix binaries must be installed in the /usr/local.  If you require a
  different install directory, follow these steps (here we assume an
  install directory of /opt/ImageMagick):

      mkdir /opt/ImageMagick
      gunzip -c ImageMagick-*.tar.gz | tar xvf -
      /bin/mv share/ImageMagick/* /opt/ImageMagick
      /bin/mv lib/ImageMagick/modules/coders/* /opt/ImageMagick
      /bin/mv lib/ImageMagick/* /opt/ImageMagick
      /bin/mv lib/libMagick* /opt/ImageMagick
      /bin/mv bin/* /opt/ImageMagick
      setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/ImageMagick
      setenv MAGICK_HOME /opt/ImageMagick
      /opt/ImageMagick/convert

Extract the Windows NT/2000 binary file called ImageMagick-win2k.zip to the C: directory.
Use WinZip to extract the files.  Examine the files from the Interix csh  
cd //C/imagemagick
ls -lrt convert.exe
cp convert.exe convert
