  3. make install
 
+== I get an error message “Promot Session not found, please start server” when starting promot.bat (on Windows) or the promot script (on Linux). What can I do? ==
+
+In the majority of cases the problem is that the GUI of ProMoT tries to connect the server which is not completely launched. Have a look into the console where the server is started, wait until the Lisp interpreter prompt occurs: [[BR]]
+
+{{{
+; Publishing this server as Promot000
+.....
+[changing package from "COMMON-LISP-USER" to "PROMOT-KERNEL"] 
+PK(1): 
+}}}
+
+Now click to “retry” in the error dialog. The GUI should start.  [[BR]]
+For later starts there are several possibilities: Either you start the server and the GUI from separate scripts (promot-server.bat and promot-ui.bat on Windows / promot-server and promot-ui on Linux) or you edit promot(.bat) and increase the time to wait between server and GUI start in the following line:  [[BR]]
+
+{{{
+(sleep 3;${dir}/promot-ui "$@") &
+}}}
+
+If this all does not work, 
+ * make sure that you use java version 6.0, 
+ * the directory for the binding handle of the server is the same like the one for the GUI:
+{{{
+...
+Published server in directory: /home/.../.corba-binding/org/mpg/dcts/promot/.../ 
+...
+Looking for Server Filebinder uses /home/.../.corba-binding
+...
+}}}
+ * and the hostname on linux does not start with a number (Then you should change the hostname in /etc/hosts).

 == On a 64-bit system I have installed ProMoT with 32-bit shared library and the 64-bit version of Diana. Will my simulation work? ==
