YoudownloadRedHatFedoraCore6installationpackagesfromthedownload site, http://fedora.redhat.com.Downloads areavailable as.isoimageswhichcan be usedtocreateCDsorDVDs,orasanunpacked installationtree.TheFedora Coresitealsohastheinstallationinstructions availablefordownload.

Note: Youshouldallowapproximatelythreehoursforinstallationand

configuration.

Use yourbrowserorFTPtodownloadthe.isoimages.Ifyouwishtodownloadto an existingLinuxserverorworkstation, youcanusewgettodownloadthe

unpacked installationtree.Todothis,issuethefollowingcommand: wget -r http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/ppc/os/

Note: Dependingonyourenvironment thesimplestwayistodownloadthe*.iso

Copying

the

IfyouarealreadyrunningLinux,youcansave the.isoimagestoa directoryon your serveroranotherserveronthenetwork. Youcanthen mounttheimageand copy thefilesto adirectory,whichthen becomestheinstallationsourcedirectory. Alternatively,youcanmakeCDsorDVDs andmounttheminyourCD orDVD drive.

Tocopy theinstallationfiles,do thefollowing:

1. Createtheinstallationdirectoryfromisoimages.

Theinstallationfilescanbe copiedfromthe.isoimagestoanydirectory accessibleoverthenetwork. Thefollowingexampleshowshowtomountthe .isoimagesandcopythefilestoadirectory named/srv/repos/p/FC6.

Installing

the

Eclipse

IDE

for

Cell/B.E.

Thissectiondescribes howtoinstall theIDEforCell/B.E.

Prerequisites:TheSDKmust beinstalled,see“InstallingtheSDK”onpage14.

Note: Thefollowinginstallationistobeperformedwhileloggedinasroot.

Toinstall IDE,do thefollowing:

1. Install Java

1.4(IBM’sorSun’s).

v ThedefaultJavaVM(GCJ)thatcomesinstalledwith FedoraCore6 isnot

sufficient.

Note: Ifyouhavea 64bitPPCmachine,youneedtoinstalland usea 32bit

Java runtimeenvironment,asEclipseforPPCiscompiledforthe 32bit architecture.

v MakesurethatyourJAVA_HOMEandyour PATHareupdatedaccordingly.

Forexample:JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_13/jreand

PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

TochangeyourPATHvariable,editthefile.bash_profile,whichislocated inyourhomedirectory (ex:/home/user/.bash_profile).

2. Install Eclipse3.2.

3. Install CDT3.1plug-ins.

4. Install theSDK version2.1if youhaven’tdonesoalready.

(29)

mount -o loop CellSDK21.iso /mnt/cellsdk

6. Install theEclipseIDEforCell/B.E.plug-ins usingtheupdatemanager:

a. InEclipse,clickHelpSoftwareUpdatesFindandInstall...

b. SelectSearchfornewfeaturestoinstall,clickNext.

c. Click NewLocalSite...

d. Goto/mnt/cellsdk/ide/com.ibm.celldt.update,andclickOK.

e. ClickFinish andfollowtheon-screeninstructions.

7. Unmount thediskimage:

umount /mnt/cellsdk

8. Configuresimulatorfornetworkaccess.Addthefilenamedcellide.rulesto

the/etc/udev/rules.ddirectory, withthefollowingcontent: KERNEL=="tun", MODE="0666"

9. SetSimulator imagestowriteable.Runthefollowingcommands:

chmod -R a+wx /opt/ibm/systemsim-cell/run/cell/linux chmod -R a+wx /opt/ibm/systemsim-cell/images/cell

10. Ensurethatyour LinuxPATHvariableincludesthefollowingpaths:
