  INSTALL

 
INSTALLATION
============


IF INSTALLING FROM AN .RPM FILE:
---------------------------------------------------
You must have rpm installed on your system (www.rpm.org).
As root, type 'rpm -ivh filename' where filename is the name of the rpm file
   you wish to install. If you want to specify a different installation
   prefix, add --prefix=/YOUR/INSTALL/DIR to the above command
To uninstall, (as root) type 'rpm -ev http_fetcher'.

 

IF INSTALLING FROM SOURCE .tar.gz FILE:
-----------------------------------------------------------
From the main HTTP Fetcher directory, type:

   1) ./configure
   2) make
     then, as root...
   3) make install


That's it. The library should then be located in /usr/local/lib/, and the
header should be in /usr/local/include (unless you specified a different prefix).


If you don't have root on the machine, you can install the package in your
home directory. For step 1, do "./configure --prefix=YOUR_PATH" where
YOUR_PATH is the directory under which you'd like to install the package.


To uninstall (from the main http_fetcher source distribution directory), type
make uninstall
