VIS & VL2MV

18/01/2016: -----------     Installing VIS model checker     ----------------------------         Download from: http://vlsi.colorado.edu/~vis/vis_files_2.4.html         Note: First do the installation of glu and then install vis or vl2mv (order doesn't matter)         Installation: Follow the steps in the VIS README file in http://vlsi.colorado.edu/~vis/vis_files_2.4.html         Pitfalls: Dont extract the vis and glu .tar.gz files using gui. Instead use the commands given below             % gzip -dc /tmp/glu-2.4.tar.gz | tar xf -             % gzip -dc /tmp/vis-2.4.tar.gz | tar xf -         Setting environment for VIS             set VIS_LIBRARY_PATH=$cwd/share     Installing vl2mv:     ----------------         Follow instructions in the README file in http://vlsi.colorado.edu/~vis/vis_files_2.4.html         "make check" will fail since the vl2mv-2.4/examples folder is empty. Don't worry about that
