BRL-CAD Usage TipHow to set it up - Version: 7.6.0, 9/24/2005 07:23AM PST

brlcad (Open Source Development)
BRL-CAD requires X11 and some basic command line familiarity right now to start it up. Once the installation completes, run X11 (should be in your /Applications/Utilities folder) and in the xterm window that opens up type:
/usr/brlcad/bin/mged

If you edit your ~/.profile, you can/should add /usr/brlcad/bin to your PATH so you don't have to keep typing that every time (you can copy/paste these lines into Terminal):
echo "" >> ~/.profile
echo "export PATH=/usr/brlcad/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile

After doing that, you'll be able to just run X11 and type this into xterm:
mged

The dependency on X11 will be removed in the future.

If anyone has ANY trouble installing or using the package, please let me know. You can either post a bug report to:

BRL-CAD ReviewCan't get it to work no matter what. - Version: 7.6.0, 9/23/2005 09:21PM PST

I installed 7.4 a while back and later installed 7.6.0 hoping that I could get it to work. I can't get it to work nor can I remove it from my HD. Any help in either direction would be appreciated.
