| Scripting Language: | Perl 5.80+ |
| Language: | C++ |
| Compiler: | gcc 3.3.3+ |
| GUI Library: | Qt 3.3 (installed from src to /usr/local/qt_3.3) keep an eye on QT 4.0, though |

| Directory Structure: | VERITAS-provided shared software goes into /usr/local/veritas/lib /usr/local/veritas/bin /usr/local/veritas/include etc... VERITAS-provided private software goes into Software
installed from source should go into /usr/local/software-version, with a
link from /usr/local/software to the current default version, like so: and /usr/local/omniORB -> /usr/local/omniORB-4.0.3 Tarballs for System Packages go in |
A few notes:
 | Wherever possible, we have tried to stick to packages which are installed with the Standard Operating System. We suggest newer versions only when significant enhancements or bugfixes are present in those versions. |
| Packages marked with a + are those in which minor version upgrades are likely to cause no compatibility problems. |
| If you find serious problems with any of the packages on the list, please let us know |
| If you come across installation or configuration tips which would be useful to your fellow collaboration members, please let us know and we will post them here. |
