Dive 3.1.0 for HP HPUX 9.0x platforms

1. Software requirements

These binaries require IP Multicast support in the HP-UX kernel.

Graphics

"vishnu", the default Dive viewer, uses the MesaGL 1.2.8 graphic library for rendering. The library is statically linked. MesaGL does not require any specific 3D Hardware, thus its performance is directly related to CPU and X server performance. When running the Dive viewer, reducing the size of the rendering window and/or rendering in "Wireframe" mode will increase the frame rate.

"vishnu" can also use the Iris GL look-a-like from Portable Graphics, called NPGL. You will need an NPGL license to be able to run this binary.

Audio

Dive three-dimensional audio is not yet implemented on HPs.

2. Fetching binaries

Follow these steps to fetch and try Dive 3.1.0:

Fetch the Dive distribution for HP HPUX 9 by anonymous ftp. (Either select the link, or, since some web-browsers have ftp-interface problems, use ftp explicitly on ftp://ftp.sics.se/pub/dive/dive3.1.0.hpux.tar.gz). The file is approximately 5 M.
Place the distribution file dive3.1.0.hpux.tar.gz in a suitable directory.
Follow the installation instructions to install and start Dive.

vishnu is dynamically linked with the X libraries, but you should be able to execute the binary directly. If you encounter problems, try setting the LPATH and SHLIB_PATH environment variables.

You might also want to follow a tutorial, or check the manual.
