REQUIREMENTS
=============

You need the following things in order to successfully run the
SoundTracker (included are commands which help you to find out your
installed version, if any):

- gcc 2.7.2.x (I use 2.7.2.3)			gcc --version
- recent GTK+ libraries (I use the latest
  1.1.x, but 1.0.x should work as well)		gtk-config --version

Besides that, this program makes extensive use of threads. This
can be troublesome if you are using a libc5 system. You can find this
out by issueing the command 

	ldd `which xterm` | grep libc

If the output says libc.so.6 (not 5!), you are fine and you can skip
the rest of this section. Otherwise you need to have thread-safe X
libraries: If SoundTracker keeps crashing as soon as you start it,
giving strange X I/O errors, you don't have them.

You can get a precompiled version from
http://www.tu-harburg.de/~semk2104/soundtracker/threadedxlibs.tar.bz2.
It's best not to install them over the old X libraries, but to put
them into a private directory instead and to let the shell environment
variable 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' point to this directory before starting
SoundTracker, so they don't interfere with the other programs
installed on your computer:

in bash:

	export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/threadedxlibs/directory

in csh/tcsh:

	setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path/to/threadedxlibs/directory


INSTALLING
===========

./configure
make

If this gives errors or warnings, you are out of the game (please
report). I told you this isn't even beta software :)

On the other hand, if it worked (which is highly probable on any i386
Linux system which fulfills the requirements listed above), you can
now 'make install'.
