ned hlp set envionmnet

I am not sure where this message should be posted.
I am doing a project on grid computing implemented in Java.

Basically in laymans term grid computing is making powerful applicatins by using unused CPU's by networking computers. (Not important)

To do this I need to run a tool called Globus that provide much of the grid services.

I have downloaded this tool but getting some problems. It tells me that I need to:

(1) download the Grid toolkit
(2) set GLOBUS_LOCATION in your environment, and run 'build_gpt'.

How do I do this latter bit, that is set the environment???? (My environment is Linux.)

--------------------------------------------------

Here is the installation page. http://www.globus.org/gt2/install/index.html

Note only the begining of the page is relevant to me, that is upto header "Building from a Source Distribution".

Is your keyboard missing some keys?
Is your screen fuzzy also? (It would seem that "Java Answers Forum" shows up as "Linux Support Forum" or something like that.)
If you don't even know how to set environment variables what are you doing using Linux?
Anyway, in your .profile, you'll want to have a line like this:

GLOBUS_LOCATION=/location/where/you/installed/globus

Then, probably, go to that same location and execute ./build_gpt (you may have to use chmod to make it executable). If all this is gibberish to you, then you need to find a Linux tutorial on the net.
