The B-Toolkit Environment

The B-Toolkit requires that the BKIT Environment Variable be correctly set before it can function. This variable should point to the BKIT directory where the toolkit has been installed; for example (using C-Shell, csh):

        setenv BKIT /usr/local/tools/BKIT

This setting should be made globally (for example in a .login file), or locally in a script which invokes the toolkit; for example:

        #! /bin/sh -f
        BKIT=/usr/local/tools/BKIT
        export BKIT
        $BKIT/BToolkit

All other settings may be made through the Options settings of the B-Toolkit's Motif Interface

Other Environmental Considerations

One other environment variable affects the operation of the B-Toolkit:-

PATH
If operating under Solaris, the PATH variable may have to be modified to allow the B-Toolkit to access compatible versions of various Unix commends, such as ps. The directory /usr/ucb should be placed before /usr/bin in the PATH variable.
It may also be helpful to place $BKIT in PATH.
For example:-
```
        setenv PATH $BKIT:/usr/ucb:${PATH}
```
Other variables local to LaTeX or DVI, such as XDVIFONTS
may also have to be set correctly, and for this you such consult your System Administrator.

Another consideration are the Motif defaults for the B-Toolkit, which the user can configure by editing the XBMotif file, which may reside in an apps-defaults directory , for example:

              /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults

              /usr/openwin/lib/X11/app-defaults

              /usr/X11R6/lib/app-defaults

or in the user's home directory; the location is dependent on the X file search path of local setup and you should consult your System Administrator if you experience difficulties.
