The user can use several environment variables in order to customize the
PADE programming environment. The following variables are read by
PADE.
- PADE_ROOT - The directory path to the top of the PADE
distribution. This environment variable must be set or PADE will
not run.
- PVM_ROOT - The path to the top of the PVM installation.
This environment variable is identical to the variable of the same name
required by PVM.
- PVM_ARCH - The same as the PVM variable of the same name.
Examples include RS6K, SUN4, and LINUX.
- XPVM_ROOT - The path to the top of the XPVM directory structure.
This environment variable is identical to the XPVM variable of the same name.
- EDITOR - The name of the user's favorite text editor. Note
that the full pathname of the editor variable can be specified here.
- HOME - The path to the user's home directory. This is the usual
environment variable set by most shells.
- PATH - The user's search path.
It is also important to include the following entries in the PATH
environment variable.
- $HOME/pvm3/bin/$PVM_ARCH - This path points to the directory
where PVM looks for executables by default.
- $XPVM_ROOT/src/$PVM_ARCH - This path points to the directory
where the xpvm executable is located.
