[kepler-dev] Re: Kepler installation problem (red hat)

[Dan Higgins]

Hi Haiyan,
    It sounds like you have Kepler installed OK. To create a blank 
workspace, just go to the File menu in any of the windows and select 
'File/New/Graph Editor'. That should create an empty workflow window.

    Kepler has its own copy of Ptolemy (You should find a directory 
called ptII4.0.0 inside the kepler dir). Note that you should not need 
to export the PTII and KEPLER environment variables in the 'kepler.sh' 
file. In fact, exporting the PTII variable there may be causing the 
problem with running Ptolemy. PTII should point to the independent 
Ptolemy installation.
