[Opensim-dev] Running Server

[Kyle Hamilton]

I really hate to say it, but in order to get this running at this
early stage you're going to need to get very, very familiar with
Terminal.app and the bash shell.

The file you're looking for is '~/.profile', which I don't think
exists by default for new 10.5.2 user accounts.  The best way to edit
it (unless you know vi or emacs) is by going to the shell and typing
'nano ~/.profile'.  All of the commands are at the bottom of the
screen -- ^X means 'ctrl+x' (which exits the editor, optionally saving
the file -- you can say 'no, I don't want to save the file' if you've
messed it up).

Most of Apple's tools are built around sqlite3 (they use that as the
basis of their "Core Data" framework).  I would suggest setting your
sim up to use that for testing -- but I don't know of data migration
support yet (it's entirely possible that it exists, though; I haven't
been keeping track).  This means that you should plan on losing the
data in your sqlite3 database when you migrate to another database
system.

I haven't downloaded mono for MacOSX yet, and haven't yet tried to get
OpenSim operating under OSX natively (I have a virtual machine with
VMware that I have historically used).

I hope this helps!
