If you are installing source code for Advanced Khoros, you may need to acquire the following programs.
You must have the gzip/gunzip programs just
to get started (before you can run kinstall).
On the Khoros ftp site (ftp.khoral.com; 198.59.155.28), these programs are contained in the file: /pub/dist/gnu/gzip1.2.4.shar
Copy this file to the desired installation directory (we recommend /usr/local/gnu).
Change your working directory to this directory.
The file is packed in shell archive format. To unpack it, type:
When this is done you will see a newly created directory, gzip-1.2.4, containing the unpacked source code files. Change to this directory.
This directory contains files called README and INSTALL which contain detailed instructions for completing the installation. The short summary of the necessary commands follows:
> make
> make install
Depending on your platform, the kinstall script may offer you the option of installing source code versions of the rest of the required 3rd-party software.
Note that you must install this 3rd-party software before you run the kbuild script.
When you ran the kinstall script, it asked you which directory to install into. In the third-party directory you will find (depending on what you installed) the following files (and maybe others):
binutils26.tgz gcc272.tgz groff110.tgz make374.tgz perl14036.tgz
Follow these instructions below for each of these files.
Unzip and untar all the files, as in the example below.
Each directory created contains a file called README and/or INSTALL which contains detailed instructions for completing the installation. The short summary of the necessary commands follows:
> make
> make install
Note: The command sequence is a little different for perl. See the perl README file.
