1 # Fedora Linux {#fedora}
5 See the \link installation \endlink page for supported versions.
9 On Fedora, gclib is distributed in an RPM repository. The following steps can be performed to install gclib.
11 ### Download Galil's repository information
13 * Point a browser at http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/fedora/galilrpm-1-1.noarch.rpm and install the rpm.
14 * This step installs Galil's RPM repositories and only needs to be done once.
16 <!--- sudo wget http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/fedora/galil.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/galil.repo -->
19 Install gclib package, approve "Installed size" and "Importing GPG key", if prompted.
21 $ sudo yum install gclib
26 $ sudo yum remove gclib
29 * The gclib shared object files
30 * /usr/lib/libgclibo.so
31 * /usr/lib/libgclib.so
32 * The gclib header files
33 * /usr/include/gclib_errors.h
34 * /usr/include/gclibo.h
35 * /usr/include/gclib.h
36 * /usr/include/gclib_record.h
37 * gclib documentation tarball
38 * /usr/share/doc/gclib/gclib_129_doc.tar.gz
39 * Example source tarball
40 * /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclib_129_examples.tar.gz
41 * Source files to modify/rebuild libgclibo.so
42 * /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclibo_129_src.tar.gz
43 * GalilTools Communication Library (gcl) wrapper
44 * /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclib_129_gcl.tar.gz
46 * /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclib_129_pci.tar.gz
50 ##Serial Ports and USB
51 If access to the serial ports or USB (e.g. DMC-4103) is desired through gclib, the following will provide steps to join the correct access group. If using USB, be sure the controller is powered and the usb is plugged in before beginning.
53 ###Determine group with access
55 $ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/ttyS*
56 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 64 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS0
57 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 65 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS1
58 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 66 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS2
59 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 67 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS3
60 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 188, 0 Mar 6 11:08 /dev/ttyUSB0
62 In the above listing, **dialout** is the group that needs to be joined. **uucp** is another common group that may be listed.
64 ###Add the desired *username* to the group.
66 $ sudo gpasswd -a username dialout
67 [sudo] password for username:
68 Adding user username to group dialout
70 Log out and back in for change to take effect.
73 username wheel dialout
75 gclib can now connect to serial and usb devices from user *username*.
78 If using a Galil PCI controller, the PCI driver must be installed.
80 ###Install prerequisites
82 $ sudo yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
83 $ sudo yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
84 $ sudo yum install gcc
86 ###Extract source and build driver
88 $ tar -xf /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclib_202_pci.tar.gz
91 ###Copy module and add to kernel
93 $ sudo cp galilpci.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
95 $ sudo modprobe galilpci
97 ###Add galil group for access to PCI
99 $ sudo groupadd -f -K GID_MIN=100 -K GID_MAX=499 galil
100 $ sudo cp 90-galilpci.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
101 $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
102 $ sudo udevadm trigger
103 $ sudo usermod -a -G galil username #exchange "username" with actual user's name
105 Logout and back in. The PCI hardware is now available for access.
108 crw-rw---- 1 root galil 10, 56 Jun 9 11:07 /dev/galilpci0
109 $ echo -e "\x12\x16\r" > /dev/galilpci0
