Directions From the CATs
Email messages from Garfield 05/04/09 08:37 and Garfield 05/04/09 08:40
DEADLINE: Please submit your requests to cats@smith.edu by June 19th and give us the software, if we do not already have it. Please let us know if your software will not arrive by this date.
If we do not get the software by June 19th, it may not be incorporated into the software image and therefore may not be ready in time for start of fall classes.
All college-standard software & keyserved software will be installed. For a complete list see: http://www.science.smith.edu/resources/cts/faq/ Click on the Teaching/Classrooms link on the left and select 'What software is installed on the computer classroom machines?'
Departments who have had specialized software installed in the past will receive another email listing those specific courseware titles for your review.
Classroom Notes/Changes:
The Windows start menu will improve. Instead of having individual "Departmental Programs" shortcuts, we will have all science software under the title 'Science Applications". We are working to coordinate this change in all classrooms across campus.
In addition: We still have a few recycled Dell PC's available to replace old lab machines in the Fall (late October time frame). Send requests/justifications to Kelly (khuard@smith.edu). Sorry, no Apple machines this cycle.
Please don't reply to this email address - this account is only used for sending annoying messages. Comments should be sent to cats@email.smith.edu.
The following software titles will be included for your department in the 2009-2010 software image for all computer classrooms. If there is anything on the list that does not need to be installed or there is anything additional, please let us know by June 19th.
OS X: Xcode Developer Tools Windows XP: Sketchup Pro Emacs Gamemaker 7 CS354 Sound Apps Pure Data GhostScript & GSView POV-Ray Robolab 2.5.2 Python QT Sun Java SDK Shortcut to Java Docs - web
Again, if there are changes please let us know by June 19th.
Requests for F09-S10
| Requester | Platform | Package | Comments |
| Dominique | Linux | Arduino | I would like to have the Arduino drivers installed. The information needed is here:
Open source. This will be used in CSC231/CSC270 |
| Joe O'R | Windows/Mac | blender |
Open source. blender.org This will be used in CSC240 (Graphics) |
| Joe O'R | Windows | POV-ray |
Open source. povray.org This will be used in CSC240 (Graphics) |
| Joe O'R | Windows | PyOpenGL, GLUT, NumPy |
Open source. These will be used in CSC240 (Graphics) |
| Joe O'R | Windows | Poseray |
Open source. This will be used in CSC240 (Graphics) |
| Joe O'R | Windows | GameMaker 7 |
Needs a liscense, but inexpensive. CS will purchase/upgrade. This will be used in CSC240 (Graphics) |
| Joe O'R | Windows/Mac | Flash |
This will be used in CSC105 (Interactive Web Docs) |
| Joe O'R | Linux | CLISP |
I use this in FYS164 (Iss. AI) and CSC290 (AI). |
| Ileana Streinu | Windows, Mac | Mathematica |
Probably already standard in the image. Used in CS 252 (Algorithms). |
| Eitan M | Win,Mac,Linux | Eclipse | for CSC260 (S10), the most current release of the "IDE for Java Developers" (not the Java EE version) |
| Eitan M | Win,Mac,Linux | JOGL | for CSC260 (S10) Having the libs already in the java classpath would be great. Last semester there was some odd problems on some of the linux machines. On some machines textures didn't work properly. On others multi-threaded jogl programs didn't seem to work. |
| Eitan M | Win,Mac,Linux | Python | for CSC111 (F09) The same version (2.6 or 3.0) should be available on all platforms. For csc111, I don't care which version is installed on all machines. I believe Dominique would like both versions installed but you should check with him. |
| Eitan M | Win,Mac,Linux | Processing | Used in csc106 (F09) and possibly research and independent studies. The Linux install would be nice but isn't crucial if it is problematic. |
| Dominique | Linux | Mediawiki | To be used by the whole department.
|
| Dominique | Linux | MPI/OpenMP | For CSC352, Parallel Programming
|
| Judy F | Windows,Mac,Fedora | Python: 2.6 and 3.0 both please textbooks and some modules are not updated for 3.0 yet, and
here is a link describing the differences, which are nontrivial: |
Python: 2.6 and 3.0 both please Zelle textbook
isn't updated, but his
graphics.py
modules has been updated to 3.0 by someone else. Download: |

| Judy F | fedora | pure data |
Just a note: This software and csound are both available on debian and ubuntu linux versions, but not fedora. This year it is too late to switch to ubuntu, but perhaps in a year or two? |
| Judy F | Windows,mac,fedora | processing |
Eitan had been using this language for 106, but is now using
python? I think we should keep it available. |
