Downloading

The latest version of X-Tract can be downloaded from http://www.xmlscript.org/download.html. The distribution is a gzipped tar file.

Platform requirements

The X-Tract processor works under Solaris 7.

Installing

The download needs to be un-gzipped and un-tarred. This can be accomplished using the command below, which will create an X-Tract subdirectory under the directory in which you unzip the file.

tar -xzvf <filename>

The binary files included in the distribution are:

xtract
libxerces-c1_1-solaris.so

To install X-Tract for Solaris, you'll need to get set up your system to dynamically load the Xerces shared library. You can do this in two ways:

a) Copy libxerces-c1_1-solaris.so to one of the standard library directories on your system, such as /lib

b) Set up your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the directory where you have uncompressed libxerces-c1_1-solaris.so You can do this under bash (assuming the .so file is in the directory /home/mgm/xtract-828-solaris) by running

bash-2.03$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/mgm/xtract-828-solaris"
Running X-Tract

To run X-Tract, 'cd' to the X-Tract/apps directory and type:

./xtract start.xst
