Fred v0r100p1 is the patch provided for a bug discovered in Fred v0r100. When running Gleam (from GlastRelease-v15r49), Fred v0r100 would not launch, and instead this is as far as Fred v0r100 would go when passed a ".ior" file:

Wow, I've been requested by Fred, v1.0
Replied with GlastServer version=0.1;dataFormat=heprep2;setEventCommand=next,commands,getEventId,fluxes,source,back,eventId,eventIdx,openfile
I've just given to Fred, v1.0 an HepRep object
FXRbToolBar::create: trying to create window before creating parent window.

A windows briefly popped up and then disappeared with that last error message (in red).
The solution was to fix a line in kernel/gui/FredMainWindow.rb in the Fred v0r100 distrubtion. On line 954 (in the "addToolBar" procedure), I changed

*@toolbars\[name\] = FXToolBar.new{*}

(tmp,
to

*@toolbars\[name\] = FXToolBar.new{*}

(@toolbarBox

And that is the change in Fred v0r100p1.

In order to run FRED, you will need the following prerequisites

ruby 1.8.2 (although you should be able to run FRED also on 1.8.0 and 1.8.1, and it works for ruby 1.8.6)
The external library, fox-1.4.34-gl1 (which is just fox-1.4.34 build against the X window system via setting the "--with-x" option for the "configure" script)
