tkjuke Installation Instructions


*****
***** Prerequisites:
*****

This software requires Perl/Tk, and obviously, mtx.  

- mtx

Tested with mtx versions 1.2.9, 1.2.10 and 1.2.15.

- Perl

Perl is likely already installed on your system.  If not, you can
fetch it from:

	http://www.cpan.org/src/stable.tar.gz

Briefly, installation goes like this:

	tar -zxvpf stable.tar.gz
	cd perl-5.8.0
	sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/usr/local
	make
	make test
	make install

- Perl/Tk (using the perl executable from above in /usr/local/bin)

Get it from:

	http://mirrors.develooper.com/perl/backup.pause/authors/id/N/NI/NI-S/Tk800.024.tar.gz

Briefly, installation goes like this:

	tar -zxvpf Tk800.024.tar.gz
	cd Tk800.024
	/usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL
	make
	make test
	make install

*****
***** Installation of tkjuke follows the Perl idiom. After unpacking:
*****

perl Makefile.PL
make 
make test
make install

The "juke" variable $wait in the subroutine customize() defines an
anonymous subroutine that ensures media is ready after it has been
loaded into a DTE. It's value can be either $wait1 (Linux) or $wait2
(IRIX). The basic idea is to status the drive until it is ready.

IFF you experience tape-not-ready errors, you must inspect this code
and make appropriate changes. The code comments tell you what to do.
Please, send any changes to sol0@lehigh.edu.
