This chapter describes how you install OpenGL Multipipe on the following two platforms:
This section lists information supplemental to the guide IRIX Admin: Software Installation and Licensing. The information listed here is product-specific; use it with the installation guide to install this product.
The following are the prerequisites for installing OpenGL Multipipe on your system:
Hardware: an Octane2, Onyx, Onyx2, Onyx 3000, Onyx 350, Onyx4, or Tezro system with MIPS R10000 or later processors
Software:
IRIX 6.5.15 or later, generally
IRIX 6.5.24 or
IRIX 6.5.22 or later plus patch 5448 for Onyx4 platforms
IRIX 6.5.27 for optional use of omprun on Onyx4 platformsC++ Standard Execution Environment (c++_eoe)
Note: IRIX 6.5.18 or later is required to use the aware window management feature under SGI Xinerama. IRIX 6.5.20 or later is required to enable duplicate cursor images in screen overlap regions under SGI Xinerama.
To install OpenGL Multipipe, follow these steps:
Go to the following URL:
Click on the Download button and follow the instructions to download OpenGL Multipipe.
This installer includes the OpenGL Multipipe libraries and tools described in Table 2-1.
Use inst or swmgr to install OpenGL Multipipe.
The libraries are provided in two versions:
n32 The new 32-bit libraries. Located in the /usr/lib32 directory. Usable only on IRIX 6.2 and later operating system releases. The n32 libraries operate at increased efficiency in many situations.
64 The 64-bit libraries. Located in the /usr/lib64 directory.
This step installs the file subsystems shown in Table 2-1.

The following are the prerequisites for installing OpenGL Multipipe on your system:
Hardware: Silicon Graphics Prism visualization system
Software: SGI Advanced Linux Environment with SGI ProPack 3 Service Pack 6
OpenGL Multipipe for Silicon Graphics Prism systems is installed by default when installing the SGI ProPack package. OpenGL Multipipe contains the following file subsystem:
sgi-omp-2.x-yyyyy.ia64.rpm |
Detailed documentation of the rpm utility for managing software installation on Linux is available in the rpm(8) man page.
