Hi Zbay,

the program source code documentation should point you out to know where the top directory on filesystem for XCrySDen is installed by default (provided that you didn't specified an alternate location during the installation process).

Once you have found where (that is, in which file) the variable is currently defined, you can edit the file so that the value on the right of the "=" sign points to the above said directory of filesystem.

You can use one text editor of your choice (vi, nano) whichever you are comfortable with.

After editing the file, in order to "activate" the new value for the variable you have two choices:
1. logout then re-login to the system
OR
2. source the file containing the variable new value, i.e.:
Code:
$ source filename

perlnetware

PERLNETWARE(1)						 Perl Programmers Reference Guide					    PERLNETWARE(1)

NAME

       perlnetware - Perl for NetWare

DESCRIPTION

       This file gives instructions for building Perl 5.7 and above, and also Perl modules for NetWare. Before you start, you may want to read the
       README file found in the top level directory into which the Perl source code distribution was extracted. Make sure you read and understand
       the terms under which the software is being distributed.

BUILD

       This section describes the steps to be performed to build a Perl NLM and other associated NLMs.

   Tools & SDK
       The build requires CodeWarrior compiler and linker.  In addition, the "NetWare SDK", "NLM & NetWare Libraries for C" and "NetWare Server
       Protocol Libraries for C", all available at <http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Novell_Developer_Kit>, are required.
       Microsoft Visual C++ version 4.2 or later is also required.

   Setup
       The build process is dependent on the location of the NetWare SDK.  Once the Tools & SDK are installed, the build environment has to be
       setup.  The following batch files setup the environment.

       SetNWBld.bat
	   The Execution of this file takes 2 parameters as input. The first being the NetWare SDK path, second being the path for CodeWarrior
	   Compiler & tools. Execution of this file sets these paths and also sets the build type to Release by default.

       Buildtype.bat
	   This is used to set the build type to debug or release. Change the build type only after executing SetNWBld.bat

       *   Example:
	     1. Typing "buildtype d on" at the command prompt causes the buildtype
		to be set to Debug type with D2 flag set.
	     2. Typing "buildtype d off" or "buildtype d" at the command prompt causes
		the buildtype to be set to Debug type with D1 flag set.
	     2. Typing "buildtype r" at the command prompt sets it to Release Build type.

   Make
       The make process runs only under WinNT shell.  The NetWare makefile is located under the NetWare folder.  This makes use of miniperl.exe to
       run some of the Perl scripts. To create miniperl.exe, first set the required paths for Visual c++ compilier (specify vcvars32 location) at
       the command prompt.  Then run nmake from win32 folder through WinNT command prompt.  The build process can be stopped after miniperl.exe is
       created. Then run nmake from NetWare folder through WinNT command prompt.

       Currently the following two build types are tested on NetWare:

       o   USE_MULTI, USE_ITHREADS & USE_IMP_SYS defined

       o   USE_MULTI & USE_IMP_SYS defined and USE_ITHREADS not defined

   Interpreter
       Once miniperl.exe creation is over, run nmake from the NetWare folder.  This will build the Perl interpreter for NetWare as perl.nlm.  This
       is copied under the Release folder if you are doing a release build, else will be copied under Debug folder for debug builds.

   Extensions
       The make process also creates the Perl extensions as <Extension.nlm>

INSTALL

       To install NetWare Perl onto a NetWare server, first map the Sys volume of a NetWare server to i:. This is because the makefile by default
       sets the drive letter to i:.  Type nmake nwinstall from NetWare folder on a WinNT command prompt.  This will copy the binaries and module
       files onto the NetWare server under sys:Perl folder. The Perl interpreter, perl.nlm, is copied under sys:perlsystem folder.  Copy this
       to sys:system folder.

       Example: At the command prompt Type "nmake nwinstall".
		 This will install NetWare Perl on the NetWare Server.
		 Similiarly if you type "nmake install",
		 This will cause the binaries to be installed on the local machine.
		 (Typically under the c:perl folder)

BUILD NEW EXTENSIONS

       To build extensions other than standard extensions, NetWare Perl has to be installed on Windows along with Windows Perl. The Perl for
       Windows can be either downloaded from the CPAN site and built using the sources, or the binaries can be directly downloaded from the
       ActiveState site.  Installation can be done by invoking nmake install from the NetWare folder on a WinNT command prompt after building
       NetWare Perl by following steps given above.  This will copy all the *.pm files and other required files.  Documentation files are not
       copied.	Thus one must first install Windows Perl, Then install NetWare Perl.

       Once this is done, do the following to build any extension:

       o   Change to the extension directory where its source files are present.

       o   Run the following command at the command prompt:

	       perl -II<path to NetWare lib dir> -II<path to lib> Makefile.pl

	   Example:

	       perl -Ic:/perl/5.6.1/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:perl5.6.1lib MakeFile.pl

	   or

	       perl -Ic:/perl/5.8.0/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:perl5.8.0lib MakeFile.pl

       o   nmake

       o   nmake install

	   Install will copy the files into the Windows machine where NetWare Perl is installed and these files may have to be copied to the
	   NetWare server manually. Alternatively, pass INSTALLSITELIB=i:perllib as an input to makefile.pl above. Here i: is the mapped drive
	   to the sys: volume of the server where Perl on NetWare is installed. Now typing nmake install, will copy the files onto the NetWare
	   server.

	   Example: You can execute the following on the command prompt.

		     perl -Ic:/perl/5.6.1/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:perl5.6.1lib MakeFile.pl
		     INSTALLSITELIB=i:perllib

	   or

		     perl -Ic:/perl/5.8.0/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:perl5.8.0lib MakeFile.pl
		     INSTALLSITELIB=i:perllib

       o   Note: Some modules downloaded from CPAN may require NetWare related API in order to build on NetWare.  Other modules may however build
	   smoothly with or without minor changes depending on the type of module.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       The makefile for Win32 is used as a reference to create the makefile for NetWare.  Also, the make process for NetWare port uses
       miniperl.exe to run scripts during the make and installation process.
