Hi,
Yesterday I downloaded the 30-days eval of Momentcis and RTOS-for-Linux.
I will (try to) run it on a Sempron-based Fedora Core 5 machine. As
indicated in the pdf, when RTOS stated that it couldn’t find Java
installed, I tried to install Momentics. However, despite that I am root
(su actually), running ./qnxSetupLinux.bin from the CD ends with the
message that I don’t have permission to run it.
How can I solve this?
Thanks.
Huub
Hello Huub
Do you have SELinux enabled? If so you should try disabling it and
running the bin again. If that doesn’t work the method I use to install
Momentics on Linux is:
Download the 1.4.2 VM from Sun’s website.
Set it up according to the instructions found here:
http://home.gagme.com/greg/linux/fc4-tips.php#java
It’s for Fedora Core 4, but it works the same on Fedora Core 5.
NOTE: The instructions talk about installing 1.5. DO NOT INSTALL 1.5.
The installation will not work with 1.5
After setup do a java -version. Make sure it reports that it is using
the 1.4.2 VM from Sun and not GCJ.
As root switch to the CD and run the following command:
java -cp ./qnx_linux_setup.jar run
Should install fine that way but if you get a message about display,
then you will need to use the gui version of su ( i.e. kdesu “java -cp
…/qnx_linux_setup.jar run”
NOTE that installing the VM may give him an error about a corrupt
package. The package is probably not corrupt. The command line
arguments for the tail binary changed. In order to get around this you
must export:
export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209
do the install and then to change it back:
export _POSIX2_VERSION=200112
Thanks,
Rodney

Hello Rodney,

Just checked: it’s disabled.

I have 1.5 installed, but only to work with Eclipse. When I used the GCJ
1.4.2, Eclipse had severe performance problems. I start it using
/apps/eclipse/eclipse -vm /apps/jdk1.5.0_07/jre/bin/java . Does this
interfere anyway?
After setup do a java -version. Make sure it reports that it is using

Hmm. Can you tell me if uninstalling GCJ will harm Fedora Core 5? If
not, I will download 1.4.2 from Sun and install it.
As root switch to the CD and run the following command:
java -cp ./qnx_linux_setup.jar run
Good.
Should install fine that way but if you get a message about display,
then you will need to use the gui version of su ( i.e. kdesu “java -cp

I run gnome, but I suppose that won’t be a problem.

Thank you,

Update:
I installed Momentics successfully and can start it. I suppose I should
install ntocore and the sp2 now?
Thanks,
Huub
Install SP2 first, then ntocore. At least install SP2.
Thanks,
Rodney

No. In fact you probably should use Java 1.5 to run eclipse. However
the 1.4 VM is required to run the installation. This is due to a
limitation when using InstallShield Multicore.
After setup do a java -version. Make sure it reports that it is using
the 1.4.2 VM from Sun and not GCJ.Hmm. Can you tell me if uninstalling GCJ will harm Fedora Core 5? If

You do not need to uninstall it. Just make sure that Sun’s VM is the
first in the path.
As root switch to the CD and run the following command:
java -cp ./qnx_linux_setup.jar runGood.

From your answer I understand it isn’t necessary to install ntocore.
But ntocore is QNX itself, right? Or did I install it already by
installing Momentics?

QNX Momentics is the development suite; the Neutrino version also includes
the OS. The QNX Neutrino Core OS 6.3.2 is an update to the OS to support
multicore processing and adaptive partitioning.

Thank you. In host/linux/x86/usr/ntox86/bin/ I see several nto
files/directories. Which one should I use to start/run Neutrino as a
guest O.S. on my Fedora Core 5 machine?
Thank you,
Huub
Hello Huub
You can’t run NTO as a guest O.S on Linux unless you use VMWare or
something similar to that. You need an actual Neutrino target.
Thanks,
Rodney

Hello Rodney,
If I can only run NTO either on separate hardware or as guest on e.g.
WMware or Xen, is that the purpose of this 30-day Momentics license?
Because the reason for me to install and try it, was to try developing
some simple code and then try to run it on NTO and thus getting
experience using QNX.
Thanks,

Well you can run it on a PC, self-hosted. VMware is just a way to not have
to setup a new PC or go to the trouble of creating a new partition.

And you have 30 days to experience all the tools.
Were you actually expecting NTO to run ON windows? Would you expect Linux
to run ON windows 
Thanks,
Huub

I understand that.

That’s what was confusing me. Since it was called Linux-hosted
Momentics/NTO I thought it contained some virtual machine.
Other thing is: with this 30-days license, can I install and run NTO on,
say, Xen or does only the full license do that?
Thank you,

The development is hosted.

I don’t know if Xen support QNX (doesn’t Xen required Kernel support?), but
that’s irrelevant. Momentic and/or NTO won’t know it’s running in a virtual
machine.
If you build an image with Momentic and download it in a target (what ever
that target is, real or virtual) that image will work indefinitely. What
will stop working after 30 days is most of the development tools and the
ability to create an image (depending on the type of image).
Thank you,
Huub
