Prolifics Installation Error Messages
A Prolifics installation was not successful if you receive an error message and the
program terminates. The following messages describe some of the more common
error messages and how to resolve them.
Recurring errors: Occasionally, errors described in this section seem to recur even
though the file
smvars
is in order. More often than not, the problem is that the
smvars
file (in the
config
directory), although correct, has not been converted to
binary (
smvars.bin
), which is the required format used by Prolifics. If the ASCII
version of
smvars
has been edited, be sure to run
var2bin
to convert it to binary
format. Otherwise Prolifics is not aware of the changes, and it will seem as though
smvars
was not updated.
Please enter terminal type or <RETURN> to exit.
Cause:
SMTERM
is not set (and, under UNIX,
TERM
is also not set) or the value
could not be found in
smvars.bin
(left column of
smvars
).
Action: Enter the terminal type, if known, or press Enter to set
SMTERM
correctly.
Once the variable is defined, run
prodev
again.
See the left column of the
smvars
file and correct the specification. Use
var2bin
to convert the file to binary. And/Or:
UNIX: Set the variable at the command line.
