#GUI Installation#
##################

Linux/Unix/Solaris/MacOS Platforms:
-----------------------------
 1) install the Java Run-time for your platform or the JavaJSDK toolkit (you can find a copy in the lbc-site or in the java-sun.com site: "http://java.sun.com/"): required jdk or jre >= 1.4.
 2) set the correct environment for the java (verify that java, javac & jar are present in the PATH: use the command "which java" or "locate java | grep bin" )(*).

 3) copy the zip-GUI archive in the work directory and unzip it
 4) starts the application with the "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -jar GUI.jar"

Windows Platforms:
-----------------------------
 1) install the Java Run-time for your platform or the JavaJSDK toolkit (you can find a copy in the lbc-site  or in the java-sun.com site: "http://java.sun.com/"): required jdk or jre >= 1.4.  
 2) copy the zip-GUI archive in the work directory and unzip it
 3) start the application simply double-clicking on the GUIW.exe icon
 - if this does not work locate your java path cd to that directory and perform java -jar GUI.jar from any DOS prompt windows.

-------------------------
Troubleshooting: if the application does not run with the JavaRunTime try to install the Jsdk version of Java.
Before to install the java downloaded from the LBC-site, it's recommended to get it from the local-unix/linux distribution CD-Roms or an-updated version in the Java SUN site (http://java.sun.com).
*): sometimes happens that new linux OS systems install the default java 1.0 (in usr/bin/java so you must select the correct java path (java -version) >= 1.4.*.

You may encounter problems in using the "interactive pointing" tool due to network proxy settings.
A way to avoid these problems is to run the LBC GUI with the following command:

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=$YOURPROXY_SERVER -Dhttp.proxyPort=$PORT_NUMBER -jar GUI.jar
