Running GLOW on Unix

This page provides some extra hints for users who run GLOW on Unix systems. Since we do not provide a JOGL installer, the user must copy the JOGL libraries to the filesystem. However, at run time, they must be located.

Mac OS X

Create a text file called Protege.sh with the following contents, to start up Protege with a linker hint to point to the JOGL installed directory:

#!/bin/sh

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/JOGL/lib
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

open /Applications/Protege/Protege.app &

Finally, make the text file executable by running in a shell:

> chmod a+x Protege.sh
> ./Protege.sh
