Can't submit a plot from an IRIX 6.2 machine
Description:
SYMPTOM: Can't submit a plot from an IRIX 6.2 machine. The following
error is logged in the $IESX_METAPATH/*.log "device_name is
an invalid CGM plotting device for this site"
Solution:
RESOLUTION:
You cannot use the 10.0 cgmsupport directory for a 6.2 machine.
In the 'gqs_cgm_script.csh' the 10.0 script does a cut, which
IRIX 6.2 doesn't recognize. The 10.1 script does an 'awk'.
Copying the 10.1 'gqs_cgm_script.csh' into the cgmsupport directory
will get rid of the error and you'll be able to plot once it's properly
edited.
If you are on an R10000 IRIX machine you should use all of the 10.1
cgmsupport scripts and not just copy 'gqs_cgm_script.csh' into the old
10.0 cgmsupport directory. There were updates to the 10.1 cgmsupport
scripts to handle the R10000 machines.
