Running OX 2.10

We run version 2.1x of Ox on both the solaris machines and the linux machine. Here are the instructions on how to get it running from your account:

• OX needs to know where its include files are. To do this you need to add the following line to your ".cshrc" file (note that unix is case sensitive!):

SETENV OXPATH /usr/local/ox/include

• Most of the documentation available for this version of OX was installed in HTML format in the directory /usr/local/ox/doc. You can use Netscape to view this files, starting with the file "ox.htm".

• The other thing that is important is to have ox know where its compile libraries are. In the solaris machines, we have put them in the same place most other libraries are. To make sure this works, you should include the following line on your ".cshrc" file

SETENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/openwin/lib

• Remember that in this version of Ox, most statistical commands (including random number generation  commands) are no longer in the "oxstd.h" include file. In order to use these commands, you must also use the "oxprob.h" include file

Please contact Daniel Morillo for questions related to this.
