Study: http://www.netfonds.no

Installing Netfonds' PrimeTrader in Ubuntu 9.04/9.10.

0) Install first libmotif3 package.

PrimeTrader requires the libmotif3 package. So run
sudo apt-get install libmotif3
sudo ldconfig
Notice that PrimeTrader does not work with the open source Motif replacement lesstif2.
Remove lesstif2 and install libmotif3 package as shown here.

1) Download and install PrimeTrader

Download PrimeTrader from http://www.netfonds.no and unpack/save the files to a suitable directory. I put the files to my home folder. You can also put them in /usr/local/ or /opt directory if you like.

Download pt-linux-current.tgz if you run 32bit Ubuntu.
For 64bit Ubuntu, download pt-linux64-current.tgz.

2) Start PrimeTrader

cd pt-linux*

And run
./PrimeTrader
or
./PrimeTrader64

Put also a shortcut icon on the desktop or toolbar.
