Having recently setup my new Linux box with Ubuntu 7.10 I have just installed Iris Explorer successfully (eventually).

In order to ensure Iris Explorer runs properly there’s a few additional libraries that need installing…..

The first step is to request a license key from the NAG’s support section. In order to do this you need to run the supplied key_rqst program. Although, the install of Ubuntu I am using is 64-bit and the key_rqst program is 32-bit - this needs the installation of libc-i386.

In order to actually execute Iris Explorer you also need to install the following libraries:

• libmotif3
• libstdc
• libg2c0
• libg2cDev

Finally, Iris will run with the above installed but some modules (typically display modules) will not run without the gcc libraries installed either.
