RPM's for xmgr-v4.00pl4.beta
============================

These packages were compiled using the stock sources with the following
options:

1.) USE_DEBUG  switched off
2.) USE_NETCDF switched off (no netcdf support)
3.) USE_MFHDF  switched off (no mfhdf support)

There is one difference between the stock version and RPM's: line widths
in the PostScript output are multiplied by 2 instead of 3, that is their
width will be 2/3 of that of the stock version.

I think that there is really a need for an option to customize the
translation xmgr line width <-> PostScript line width.

INSTALLATION
============

Remember that you'll probably need to be root to install the
packages. If you do, the right time to become root is NOW.

  su root

The next thing to do is to choose the ftp server you want to use.

If you're using bash, use one of the following lines:

   SERVER="ftp://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/pub/xmgr4"        # Israel
   SERVER="ftp://ftp2.netmor.com/pub/mirrors/xmgr4"           # Israel
   SERVER="ftp://fire.mpi-stuttgart.mpg.de/pub/mirrors/xmgr4" # Germany
   SERVER="ftp://abragam.med.utoronto.ca/pub/mirrors/xmgr4"   # Canada
   SERVER="ftp://wauug.erols.com/pub/X-Windows/xmgr4"         # USA

If you're using csh or tcsh, use one of

   set SERVER="ftp://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/pub/xmgr4"
   set SERVER="ftp://ftp2.netmor.com/pub/mirrors/xmgr4"
   set SERVER="ftp://fire.mpi-stuttgart.mpg.de/pub/mirrors/xmgr4"
   set SERVER="ftp://abragam.med.utoronto.ca/pub/mirrors/xmgr4"
   set SERVER="ftp://wauug.erols.com/pub/X-Windows/xmgr4"

Then, choose the appropriate package:

xmgr-4.00beta.pl4-1.i386.rpm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Use this package if you have Motif. You'll also need the dynamic
   library libXbae.so which contains additional Motif widgets. There is
   no binary version of libXbae.so, although I uploaded a source rpm to
   plasma-gate (this is since I am unsure about licence conditions). If
   you didn't install libXbae.so previously, do this:

       rpm --recompile ${SERVER}/SRPMS/Xbae-4.5-1.src.rpm

   Now you're ready to install xmgr by

       rpm -Uvh ${SERVER}/RPMS/xmgr-4.00beta.pl4-1.i386.rpm

   This binary was compiled with libc.so.5.4.23 and X11R6.3. You'll
   need to upgrade at least libc (I am not sure, but I think any 5.4.*
   version will do). If you don't upgrade, you'll be unable to read xmgr
   files, even if you saved them with this version of xmgr.

xmgr-semistatic-4.00beta.pl4-1.i386.rpm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Use this package if you don't have Motif. You won't need libXbae. All
   other libraries are linked dynamically.

       rpm -Uvh ${SERVER}/RPMS/xmgr-semistatic-4.00beta.pl4-1.i386.rpm

   This binary was compiled with libc.so.5.4.23 and X11R6.3. You'll
   need to upgrade at least libc (I am not sure, but I think any 5.4.*
   version will do). If you don't upgrade, you'll be unable to read xmgr
   files, even if you saved them with this version of xmgr.

xmgr-static-4.00beta.pl4-1.i386.rpm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Use this package if you don't have Motif and don't want to upgrade
   your libc. All libraries are linked statically, that is all you
   need is a Linux kernel understanding the ELF binary format. The
   disadvantage is that statically linked binaries need much more space
   both on disk and in memory, so using dynamically linked binaries is
   usually the better choice.

   If you want to use the statically linked version anyway, do this:

       rpm -Uvh ${SERVER}/RPMS/xmgr-static-4.00beta.pl4-1.i386.rpm
