garchiver installation
======================

What you need to run garchiver:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Python
- gnome-python
  This is called python-gnome on Debian and pygnome on RedHat.
- python-glade
- The gnome libraries. If you use Gnome you have it.

Mostly these will be installed already. The Redhat installer from version
6.2 uses pygnome for example.

What you need to compile garchiver:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything that you need to run garchiver, as well as:

- Python development libraries.
  python-dev on Debian
  python-devel on RedHat
- Gnome development libraries.
  gnome-libs-dev on Debian
  gnome-libs-devel on RedHat
- libglade development libraries.
  libglade-gnome0-dev on Debian
  libglade-devel on RedHat
- gcc, the C compiler
  On RedHat 6.2 gcc is called egcs.
- make
 
We wrote this on Python 1.5.2 and I don't know if it will work on anything
else. But it should work on anything higher.

Compiling and installing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After you have installed all of these, you simply do 

./configure
make
make install

The last step you have to be root.

If you want to install and run this as another user:

./configure --prefix=/fullpath/to/directory/you/want/it/installed
make
make install --prefix=/fullpath/to/directory/you/want/it/installed

Please note that because of the way I did things, the paths for configure and
make install has to be the same. If this bothers anyone, tell me and I'll work
on it.

That's it! Now run garchiver and start sending in suggestions and bugreports.
