Determine File Location
After deciding who is going to own the Prolifics files (root or a dummy login ID),
determine where they will be installed (referred to as the Prolifics installation
directory or
SMBASE). Once this directory is set up, do not change it, since users
are likely to embed the directory name in makefiles, shell scripts, and so forth. The
default installation directory is /usr/prolifics.
If your system layout does not permit you to put the files in
/usr/prolifics, it
might allow a symbolic link from
/usr/prolifics to the directory using the ln
-s
command.
If you are upgrading from a version of JAM or Prolifics, it is recommended that
you install Panther in a different directory from your previous installations.
