1. Download the appropriate python2.5.1 msi file for your windows architecture http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.1/^{Image Removed}
2. Using command.exe, enter the following command
   • if installing on a network drive (assuming that you are logged in on glast-win06)
     • msiexec /a <python-msi-path>/python-2.5.1.msi ALLUSERS=1 TARGETDIR=<installation director
       • Example, to install python in "V:\Glast_Software\Toaster\GLAST_EXT\Windows-i386-32bit\python\2.5.1-gl1\vcc71" enter
         •  msiexec /a V:\Glast_Software\Toaster\GLAST_EXT\VC8\python\python-2.5.1.msi ALLUSERS=1 TARGETDIR="V:\Glast_Software\Toaster\GLAST_EXT\Windows-i386-32bit\python\2.5.1-gl1\vcc71"

1. Download Python 2.5.1 from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.1/^{Image Removed}
2. Unzip and change to the directory of the unpacked archive, E.g., 
   • tar -zxvf  Python-2.5.1.tgz
   • cd Python-2.5.1
3. Run, "./configure --prefix=<installation directory>," E.g.,
   • ./configure --prefix=/afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/redhat4-i686-32bit/python/2.5.1-gl1/gcc34/
4. Edit the file, "Setup," in the "Modules" directory, "Modules/Setup"
5. Enable zlib (Uncomment the line corresponding to "zlib")
6. To build Python against tcltck 8.4, there are three lines to edit in the file (I would suggest searching for "_tkinter" in the Modules/Setup file, then following the documentation)
   • Enable tkinter, by Uncommenting the line "_tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT "
   • Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk libraries are, example
     • "-L/afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/glast/applications/heasoft/PROD/tcltk/i686-pc-linux-gnu-libc2.3.2/lib"
   • Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk headers are
   • Uncomment and edit to reflect your Tcl/Tk versions are
7. Run
   • *make
   • make install*While running "make", if you run into any compiler problems finding tcl8.4 or tk8.4 libraries, try setting the environment variable, LD_RUN_PATH to point to the location of the tcltk libraries:

1. Download the source http://4suite.org/index.xhtml
2. Extract the contents of the tar.gz file
3. cd into the directory, "ipython"
4. Run setup.py with the python instance for which you want to install IPython
   • Example
     • /afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/rh9_gcc32/python/2.5.1-gl1/gcc32/bin/python setup.py install

OmniOrb

 http://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/SAS/Building+omniORB+for+GLAST

 Update (by Emmanuel Cephas)

• Installed OmniOrb 4.1.2 at SLAC for rh9_gcc32 and the rhel4 machines
  • The OmniOrb 4.1.2 directory structure is consistent with the convention for SCons (replace rh9_gcc32 with rhel4_gcc34 or redhat4-i686-32bit for the rhel4 machines)
    • .../GLAST_EXT/rh9_gcc32/OmniOrb/4.1.2/gcc32/lib
    • .../GLAST_EXT/rh9_gcc32/OmniOrb/4.1.2/gcc32/include
    • etc..
• Regenerated the following HepRepCorba files with omniidl  (SEE http://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/SAS/Building+omniORB+for+GLAST) and committed them to CVS:
  • HepRHepEventServer.hh and HepEventServerSK.cc
  • HepEventServer.hh and HepEventServerSK.cc

•  Testing has commenced.  Heather is testing OmniOrb against a locally modifed OmniOrb CMT requirements file (which points to the 4.1.2 version of OmniOrb with the new directory structure)
