Matching CIAO and CALDB VersionsCIAO 4.1 requires CALDB 4.1 to operate properly. CALDB 4.1 should not be used unless you are running CIAO 4.1. Are your versions mismatched? Update CIAO and CALDB! 03 Nov 2009 A new version of the Contributed Scripts and Modules tarfile has been released; download the updated package from the Scripts page. 02 Oct 2009 CIAO 4.1.2 is not officially supported on the Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) platform, but there is a workaround for installing the software in the Unsupported Platforms section of the Platforms page 17 Sep 2009 CALDB has been updated to v4.1.4. Information on the release is available from the CALDB 4.1.4 Release Notes and How CALDB 4.1.4 Affects Your Analysis. |
Platform SupportThe CIAO binaries are built for 32-bit machines. In order to run CIAO on a 64-bit machine, regardless of operating system, the basic 32-bit libraries must be installed. A list of required libraries is available in the 64-bit Machines section. CIAO 4.1 is available for the following platforms:
Please read the bugs and caveats page for a particular application to see if there are known issues and contact the Helpdesk if you have any problems. Installing on Unsupported PlatformsUsers have successfully installed CIAO on these unsupported platforms. Email the Helpdesk to contribute your installation to this list. This information is made available solely to assist users who are running an unsupported platform; the CXC has not tested these installations. 64-bit MachinesIn order to run CIAO on a 64-bit machine, regardless of operating system, the basic 32-bit libraries must be installed. The 32-bit libraries are not packaged with CIAO; the user is responsible for installing them via the package manager (e.g. yum, fink). The names may differ slightly but here are the known packages:
Doing an ldd on our executables and libraries yields the following list of system libraries:. They should live in either /lib or /usr/lib: libncurses.so.5 libXt.so.6 libgnutls.so.13 libm.so.6 libSM.so.6 libkrb5support.so.0 libdl.so.2 libICE.so.6 libkeyutils.so.1 libstdc++.so.6 libXrandr.so.2 libresolv.so.2 libgcc_s.so.1 libXrender.so.1 libgcrypt.so.11 libc.so.6 libXinerama.so.1 libgpg-error.so.0 ld-linux.so.2 libXau.so.6 libnsl.so.1 libX11.so.6 libXdmcp.so.6 libsepol.so.1 libGLU.so.1 libdl.so.2 libz.so.1 libGL.so.1 libselinux.so.1 librt.so.1 libXmu.so.6 libcrypt.so.1 libpthread.so.0 Linux

Explanation of Platform SupportThe CXC's commitment to support a platform - i.e. a version of an operating system - means that we undertake to fix bugs on that system. This requires that we are able to compile CIAO from source on each platform, which is a much greater commitment than simply providing a compatible binary. Additionally, it is typically necessary to support three versions of each operating system: former, current and new. When we support a system:
As a result, we are not able to support a larger number of systems than we currently do. We gather information from users on what platforms they are running (or want to use) in order to prevent the overextension of our resources. |
