Installation of Gnome Predict
=============================


1. Requirements
---------------

In order to compile and install Gnome Predict from source you will need
the following libraries:

* gnome-libs and gnomeui-libs 1.4 (NOT 2.0!)
* GConf 1.0.4
* gdk-pixbuf and libgnomecanvaspixbuf 0.8
* gnome-vfs and libgnome-vfs 1.0
* gnome-print and libgnomeprint 0.25
* libgal 0.11

If you are using a fairly new linux distribution and you have Gnome installed,
these libraries are probably installed already. Note, however, that you will
also need the header files which are usually included in the so called develop-
ment packages, ie. gnome-libs-devel, gnome-print-devel etc. If you are unsure,
just go on to the next section - you will be notified during compilation, if
you need any of the above libraries.


2. Installation
---------------

To install Gnome Predict from source you type:

./configure --disable-nls
make
su [enter root password]
make install

(If you got the source code from the CVS repository, you should run './autogen.sh'
instead of './configure'.)
If you don't get any errors during these steps, Gnome Predict should be installed
and ready to run. You should be able to run Gnome Predict by typing 'gpredict'.
If not, try '/usr/local/bin/gpredict' and if that works, add /usr/local/bin to your
path ;-)
If disk space is of major concern to you, you can do a 'make clean' after installation.
This will remove about 10MB of object files generated during compilation.
You should keep the source tree in case you want to uninstall to program at some
point. This can be done by typing 'make uninstall' as root.


3. Warranty and Support
-----------------------

Gnome Predict comes with absolutely no warranty of any kind, see the COPYING file
for details.
However, if you run into problems compiling, installing or using Gnome Predict a
good starting point would be the groundstation-developer or groundstation-user
mailing lists or the project forums. They can be accessed from the project page at
SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/groundstation
