I admit to being a newbie with gnats (I have yet to
successfully use it! I could and did see the Tcl/Tk
interface, it complained that version 0.0 of the
database was incompatible? not surprising since I
didn't find all of the pieces to install/edit). I'm
not an administrator, I'm a developer. If after I
install and test it, the developers approve it, the
sys admins will install it. I found lots of .texi (?)
files but we don't have info installed and I haven't
been able to get it installed. (similiar stories for
automake & autoconf)
I've downloaded and read through the "Installing GNATS"
stuff and see what may be part of the problem - emacs.
I don't know that anybody here (where I work) uses emacs.
A bunch of people use textedit, I normally use nedit,
more than a few still use vi. I'm sure that is some sort
heresy, but that is the way it is. Is the use of emacs
critical to the use of gnats?
I also see that gnatsd (gnats daemon) needs to be
running. The target platform is Sun Solaris using the
Tcl/Tk interface, not the web based interface. This
should not be a busy/active process - currently a
mixture of 2 part time developers (C++ & Tcl/Tk) and
2 full time developers (Informix database). To have a
daemon running requires paperwork, paperwork the sys
admins would like to avoid. (we used to have a home
grown web based one that was almost never used - it
was taken down to avoid the paperwork needed for
gnatsd)
cron and at permissions are also needed? I'm sure they
)sys admins) are gonna ask me why.
