Editing Cartographer Agent Installation (section)

==Supported Platforms and Platform Specific Notes==

'''Cartographer agents run on the following platforms:'''

* Solaris 9+ Sparc/64-bit (''-solaris'' platform suffix)
* Solaris 9+ on x86 (''-solx86'' platform suffix)
* Linux systems containing 2.4+ kernels on x86 (''-linux'' platform suffix)
* Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 (''-win32'' platform suffix) both 32-bit and 64-bit

'''Notes:'''

* Solaris 11 is not yet supported; porting and testing is underway.
* If you are using iptables or other firewall packages, you will need to open TCP/5270 for use by Cartographer.
* On 64-bit Windows, 32-bit Cartographer runs in 32-bit mode just fine.
* 64-bit Linux kernels are supported just fine. Some required 32-bit libs, however, may not be installed by default.
* A port to MacOS is being contemplated but has not yet been finalized.
* Ports to neither the iPhone/iPod nor Android have been planned at this time.
* On Solaris, Cartographer agents are started with init scripts rather than the service management facility
* The agent release contains its own builds of OpenSSL and PCRE that conform to our platform-specific naming scheme.  Doing so makes installation and deployment, as well as upgrading, simpler and more consistent.  The current version of OpenSSL shipped with Cartographer is 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007.  The current version of PCRE is 8.01 Jan 2010.
* On UNIX, we use the native XML libraries; on Windows, we distribute a Windows version of libxml2.
* On UNIX, we use the native POSIX threading libraries (pthreads); on Windows, we distribute a Windows version of pthreads.
