Installation

Before using MUSES, you need to compile the package and install it somewhere in your #include and library search paths. You can do it by following these instructions. Please note that the makefile relies on some features of GNU Make, and it might not work with other implementations of make.

1. Decompress and unpack the distribution archive via gunzip and tar.
2. Configure the package to work with your system: cd into the package directory and type ./configure By default, the package will be installed in `/usr/local/include' and in `/usr/local/lib'. If you want it to go somewhere else (say, in `/usr/include' and `/usr/lib') type ./configure --prefix=/usr instead. Type ./configure --help for more options.
3. (Optional; recommended if you plan to make changes to the library) Type make depend to scan the sources for dependencies.
4. Type make to build the library.
5. (Optional) Type make check to test the library.
6. Install the headers and library: as root, type make install. As an alternative you may make install-strip; do this if you really don't want debug information.
7. Immediately after installation, make installcheck is automatically called in order to test the installed library/headers.
8. (Optional) Run the library demo: type ./demo and then, from other windows, telnet localhost 1234 or telnet localhost 2345.
