Re: Installing UGS NX5 on amd64
The install directory contains approximately 48 tar.Z files for a
total of ~1.4GB. The install script itself is a 156k ksh script. I
will attempt to debug the install script with the equivalent bash -x
switch tonight after work. The install script seems to only execute
with ksh.
Thanks,
