- (This file only applies to the binary distribution; if this is the source
- distribution read the README instead.)
-
- The package may come with one or two executables. If there are two, one
- is a statically-linked program, and the other is linked using shared
- libraries. See if you can run the shared program first. If that works,
- use it because you'll save diskspace and memory by using the shared libraries.
-
- If there is only one executable, it is a statically-linked program.
-
- If you can't get the executables to run properly, you'll have to compile
- the sources yourself. You can get the sources from
- ftp://ftp.probe.net/pub/ncftp/
-
- To install the program, you just need to copy the executable you want
- to /usr/local/bin/ncftp. The man page can also be installed, typically
- in /usr/local/man/man1.
-
- Here is the list of platforms that I include both shared and static:
-
- Linux 2.0:
- You need ncurses 1.9.9e, libc 5.3.12, and readline 2.0.
- If you do 'ldd ncftp' you get:
- libreadline.so.2 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.2.0
- libncurses.so.3.0 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.3.0
- libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12
