[seek-dev] garp with kepler

[Chad Berkley]

Hi Ricardo,

I've gotten GARP to run inside Kepler, but I need to know exactly what
the output should be for a given input.  I've been using World.dxl as
the EnvLayerSet, and the test data file "DataPoints.txt" as the
DataPoints file (you sent me a zip file a while back with a bunch of
test data...both of these files came from that zip file).  When I run
garp I get a sparse matrix of mostly -9999 values and a bitmap file that
appears just to be a picture of the contintents.  Could you give me a
good scenario to run with a description of the output so I can do some
more testing?

If you would like to try this out yourself in kepler, here are the steps:

windows and linux
-----------------
1) download ptolemy II 3.0.2 (source version) from
ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu and unzip it.
2) checkout kepler from cvs.ecoinformatics.org
3) copy the build-ptolemy.xml file from the kepler directory to the
ptolemy directory
4) set the environment variables PTII=<ptolemydir>, KEPLER=<keplerdir>
and JAVA_HOME=<javadir>
5) go into the ptolemy directory and run 'ant install' (ptolemy should
compile and build a jar file)

windows
-------
6) copy the garp.dll and libexpat.dll files from kepler/lib to
windows/system32 (if windows is not installed in c:\windows, you must
chage the java library path in the win.prep target in the
kepler/build.xml file).

linux
-----
6) go into the kepler/src/cpp/garp directory and follow the steps in the
README file

windows and linux
-----------------
7) go into the kepler directory and run 'ant run' then choose the GARP
pipeline link when the kepler main screen comes up.

* note you need ant verion 1.5.4 and java 1.4.1 or greater.  for linux
you need gcc version 3.2 or greater.

let me know if you have any questions.

thanks,
chad
