Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Mark McLaren <>]

Hi Shelley,

The default build uses org.hsqldb.util.DatabaseManager which is a GUI 
and therefore needs to access a display.

I have no Mac experience but I presume if you are using OS-X (which is 
essentially FreeBSD Unix with bells on) that if you set the DISPLAY 
correctly on the Solaris box it should work.  As I'm sure you're aware 
the exact command you need to set the display varies depending on the 
shell you are using on the Solaris box but it should be something like 
(assuming csh / tcsh):

setenv DISPLAY <YOUR_HOME_MAC_IP>:0

Alternatively if you're feeling technical you could try and configure 
the grouper build to use the non-GUI org.hsqldb.util.SqlTool method to 
run the SQL scripts instead.

See: <http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/ch07.html>
