Step 4: Configuring Your Environment

Before you can begin using TotalView, you must add directories to your system's environment variables. On some systems, you will also need to mount the /proc directory.

Setting Environment Variables

The pathnames listed in the following table assume that:

• You installed the software as the root user.
   
• /opt/toolworks is the default installation directory.
   
• The Install program created the a symbolic link to this directory (refer to Step 2: Running the Install Program for details).

You will need to include the following path names in environment variables:

Environment Variable	Path name
PATH	/opt/totalview/bin
MANPATH	/opt/totalview/man
LD_LIBRARY_PATH     (not on IBM RS/6000)	/opt/totalview/lib
LM_LICENSE_FILE	nonstandard-dir/license.demo

If you did not install TotalView as the root user, or if the Install program did not create the /opt/totalview or /usr/totalview links, you must add the following pathnames to your environment variables. In these variables, directories are separated by colon characters (:).

Environment Variable	Path name
PATH	installdir/totalview.version/platform/bin
MANPATH	installdir/totalview.version/platform/man
LD_LIBRARY_PATH     (not on IBM RS/6000)	installdir/totalview.version/platform/lib
LM_LICENSE_FILE	nonstandard-dir/license.dat
