Overview +----------- +This file contains instructions for remote-accessing HDF5. The SGI IRIX64 6.5 +has been tested. If you have difficulties installing the software in your +system, please send mail to + hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu +In your mail, please enclose the output of "uname -a". Also attach the +content of "config.log" if you have run the "configure" command. + +First, you must obtain and unpack the HDF5 source as described in the file +INSTALL. You need the Globus 1.1.x and SSL(should have come with Globus) +packages. + +HDF5 is built on the top of Globus-GASS(1.1.x) to handle remote access. +Globus-GASS(1.1.x) only supports HTTP and HTTPS protocals for 'whole file +read'. More features may be added in the future. + +II. Installation Steps +---------------------- +The installation steps are similar to the ones in INSTALL file: + +1. Run 'configure' file with SSL and GASS options: + configure --with-ssl=$SSL/lib --with-gass=$GASS/include,$GASS/lib + where $SSL is your SSL directory, and $GASS is your Globus directory. + + For example, below is a script file to run 'configure': + #! /bin/sh + # how to configure to use the Globus-GASS(1.1.x) + + GASS_DIR=/usr/local/globus-install-1.1.1/development/mips-sgi-irix6.5-64_nothreads_standard_debug + SSL_LIB=/usr/local/ssl/lib + + configure --with-ssl=$SSL_LIB --with-gass=$GASS_DIR/include,$GASS_DIR/lib + +2. Run 'make' + +3. Run testing program: + There is one testing program called 'gass_read' in the 'test' directory. + It does whole file read through HTTP protocal. The URL is hard coded as + http://hdf/GLOBUS/a.h5 + There are other programs called 'gass_write' and 'gass_append' used for + experiments. They don't work for current Globus-GASS. |
