------------------------- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------- Optional: - jpegsrc (ftp.isri.unlv.edu:/pub/mirror/jpegsrc) If you want chimera to be able to handle JPEG inline images. (If you have the djpeg executable, look no further -- that's the one.) - ghostscript and ghostview (aeneas.mit.edu:/pub/gnu) If you want to be able to view downloaded postscript or have inline postscript images. - xv, xloadimage, or other GIF/JPEG/TIFF/... viewer to be able to view downloaded image files. - mpeg_play to able to view downloaded MPEG files. - perl To compile chimera, type: cp Common.tmpl.dist Common.tmpl cp options.h.dist options.h # for X11R5 or higher xmkmf -a make # for X11R4 xmkmf make Makefiles depend clean all If the compile was success, check the settings of the files in util/ if you want to use them: - probably wrong path name for perl in the #! line, - duplicates of names from options.h (e.g., ".chimera_bookmark") which need to be changed if options.h was changed, - the domain name of an NNTP server which should be replaced with the name of one's local server, and - a directory name "cachepath" in access_cache that needs fixing. You can test chimera by typing test-chimera If the test worked OK, you can install chimera by typing make install You can use the '-n' flag with make to verify that everything will work OK. I suggest that you look at Common.tmpl and options.h to make sure that the settings look OK to you.
