Morpho

It looks like the installAnywhere installer for linux is out of date. When the file is executed errors come up. Here is a sample of what the consle returns when the file at http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/dist/morpho-1.6.1-linux.bin is executed.

There are some workarounds for this but I do not think they are very easy to follow. Nick has tested them. However, if we can not get a new install file for this version we probably need to test and document the workaround.

Nick Brand was able to install Morpho with these directions:

1. Download the installer

2. copy the installer

cp morpho-1.6.1-linux.bin morpho-1.6.1-linux.bak

3. run the fix (put everything on one line)

cat morpho-1.6.1-linux.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > morpho-1.6.1-linux.bin

4. now run the installer and move the the install dir

./morpho-1.6.1-linux.bin
cd Morpho-1.6.1/

Here are some alternate instructions, after installing morpho, cd to the
Morpho-1.6.1 directory, then run:

dos2unix morpho

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/

./morpho

You may need to install "tofrodos" to get the dos2unix program.
