Some Linux installations do not include the "compress" command which is required by the FacetWin installation script, "install.sh". If the "compress" command is not found during the FacetWin installation the process will fail with:

   Installing FacetWin software.
   install.sh: compress: command not found
   cpio: premature end of archive
   Unable to break apart facetwin.z file: facetwin.z

The "compress" command is part of the "ncompress" package and is readily available for RPM download:

Or it can be found fairly easily on most Linux distribution RPM CDROM's (RedHat 7.2 comes with "ncompress-4.2.4-24") and can usually be installed from the proper CDROM directory with something like this:

   rpm -i ncompress-4.2.4-24.rpm

Another option for those with "gunzip" installed is to modify the FacetWin installation script to use "gunzip" in place of "compress". To do this, modify this section of the "install.sh" script:

   # Break apart the compressed files

   echo "Installing FacetWin software."
   cd $FACETWINDIR
   if [ "$MACH" = "linux" -o "$MACH" = "linux70" ]; then
        compress -d < $CW/$FACETWIN_FILE | cpio -idmu
   else
        compress -d < $CW/$FACETWIN_FILE | cpio -icdmu
   fi

   # Break apart the compressed files

   echo "Installing FacetWin software."
   cd $FACETWINDIR
   if [ "$MACH" = "linux" -o "$MACH" = "linux70" ]; then
        gunzip < $CW/$FACETWIN_FILE | cpio -idmu
   else
        compress -d < $CW/$FACETWIN_FILE | cpio -icdmu
   fi

Good Luck!
