Jeremy,
The recommended way to upgrade is to download and run the installer:
http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/research/accessgrid/software/
slackware/SL-11.0/AG-install-3.1-SL11.i686-2-1.run
(beware length of link) which updates a number of packages as well as
AG3.1 itself (e.g. vic, but others as well). Upgrading individual
components is _not_ recommended due to various interdependencies
between the components.
The full installation instructions are at:
http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/research/accessgrid/software/
slackware/ag3install.html
(again beware length of link)
The AG package version you should have after upgrade is:
AccessGrid-3.1-i686-2
and for vic it should be:
ag-vic-2.8ucl-1.3.0-r4086-i686-1
The last machine upgraded here from 3.0.2 to 3.1 previously had:
AccessGrid-3.0.2-i686-8
and
ag-vic-2.8ucl-1.3.0-r4080-i686-1
you can find the installed versions by running
ls /var/log/packages | grep Access
and
ls /var/log/packages | grep vic
