- I have put together a binary distribution of Seyon (version 1.7 pl2)
- for linux. It consists of the binaries, support files, and an
- installation script to automate the installation process. This is
- beginners best bet, all you have to do is untar the file and run
- se_install, all the rest is done by the installation script.
-
- ---------- The binaries are linked with libc4.2 and X libs 2.1. Make
- sure you have installed those (the script will let you know if you
- dont have them). Please don't email me about problems in installing
- the libs, as I have nothing to do with them, I just use them like
- everybody else, and never had a problem with them. ----------
-
- The file is called Seyon-1.7-linux-bin-tar.Z and is available now at
- sunsite.unc.edu (at /pub/Linux/Incoming, but may be moved elsewhere
- later). I'll upload it to nic.funet.fi as well when network traffic
- decreases at night.
-
- I hope this solves the Seyon installation problems SLS users are
- having. The only problem I anticipate are beginners' trouble with
- installing the libs if they don't have them. I wanted to use older
- libs to avoid that, but I no longer have any of those.
-
- I have no plans as of yet to update the binary distribution regularly,
- the source distribution is still the main form of getting Seyon and
- will always be the most recent. So, linux newbies, once you gain some
- experience with linux and want to sink your teeth into the next
- challenge, get the source distribution and have your ways with it, or
- better yet, hack it :-).
-
- (Hmmm, I can see tomorrow's subject lines already... "Problem
- installing Seyon binary distribution. Help". Ah well, I try.)
-
- Have a nice day,
