Programs must be compiled with the -linda tuple_scope option in order to use Tuplescope. Edit the makefile you are using and add -linda tuple_scope to the CLC line at the top.

The environment variable, LINDA_CLC should be set to "cds".

Tuplescope can only be used when you are using X Windows. To set the display, set the DISPLAY environment variable to the machine you are using. For example, if you are logged onto plato from ladybug, type the following in your plato window:

    % setenv DISPLAY ladybug:0.0

Then type the following into a window on ladybug:

    % xhost +

This will cause Tuplescope to display its windows on the correct machine and give it permission to do so.

Once an executable has been prepared for use with Tuplescope, you can invoke it simply by running the program.

Documentation about Tuplescope is in the Linda manual (available from Tyco). It is pretty straightforward; to run your program simply click on the Run button; you can step through your program one statement at a time by selecting Single Step mode from the Modes menu. Then, use Run and Continue to step through your execution.
