Environment Variables to run hcismat

[Misti Wannamaker]

I am trying to run smat from the command line in 3.5.2 (hcismat &).  I am using Reflections.  I am getting the following error:

(intmgr)hcitest>hcismat &

[1]     14924

(intmgr)hcitest>Error: Error: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variae

   while

initializing application (Tcl_AppInit?)

   while executing

“exec hciwish $scriptname”

   (“eval” body line 1)

   invoked from within

“eval exec hciwish {$scriptname} $argv”

   (procedure “SMAT:main” line 81)

   invoked from within

“SMAT:main [llength $argv] $argv”

   (file “/quovadx/qdx5.2/integrator/bin/hcismat” line 4609)

Would someone please tell me what I need to do?

Thanks …

Misti,

There are a couple of things:

1) I assume that when you say you are running ‘Reflections’ you are referring to ReflectionsX, the X windows emulator.

2) Are you running it as the ‘hci’ user? Are you ‘su’ ‘ing to hci, and if so are you performing ‘su – hci’ so that hci’s .profile runs?

Within the .profile (/home/hci/.profile), there should be a command to export the $DISPLAY environment variable:

export DISPLAY

The error your getting indicates that the DISPLAY environment variable isn’t set so the GUI doesn’t know what display to report back to.

Hope this helps.

Misti,

I run Reflections X also . There are 2 methods to run Relections.

1 as a Telnet session and

2 as a X-Windows session.

If you just type hcismat & from a Telnet session the server does not

have a DISPLAY to send it results .

Try executing a X-Windows session.

We use a script to execute the smat command, but you can enter the same thing from a command line, inserting the ip address of your pc.

export DISPLAY=:0.0

hcismat

The smat tool from the Unix server runs much faster than the GUI version but doesn’t offer as many options and isn’t as pretty.  We are on Version 5.2 and get an error (error running editor: couldn’t execute “hciguieditor”: no such file or directory) when Edit button is selected.  I don’t know if something is missing in the version because that executible doesn’t exist in the $HCIROOT/bin directory.

Hope this helps!

AS hci user with the tcsh you should be able to execute an alais that will set your DISPLAY variable

it is called

setdisplay

and would look like this in your /home/hci/.cshrc.local.end

alias setdisplay setenv DISPLAY `who am i | awk “‘”‘{ print $6}'”‘” | sed “‘”s/”[()]”//g”‘”`:0.0

or you could execute the entire cmd yourself

setenv DISPLAY `who am i | awk ‘{ print $6}’ | sed ‘s/[()]//g’`:0.0
