Slicer4:Example Wrapper Script

To make a wrapper script, run

Slicer --launch `which gnome-terminal`

or

Slicer --gnome-terminal

and check the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH (note, it doesn't seem to be set using xterm). Then check the other environment variables as listed in [EnvironmentVariables].

See the examples below.

It's easier to just check LD_LIBRARY_PATH using --launch. If this is somehow not available, the above settings translate directly to::

#!/bin/bash
