INSTALLATION:

To install the EGYPT toolkit, please follow the following steps:

1. copy the distribution file EGYPT.tar.gz to where you want to
install the tookit (e.g. /home/egypthome/)

2. untar and unzip the file EGYPT.tar.gz as follows:

	zcat EGYPT.tar.gz | tar xvf -

this will create the subdirectory /home/egypthome/EGYPT and will
install the contents of the toolkit in that subdirectory.


3. set the EGYPT environment variable to the EGYPT subdirectory:

	(e.g. setenv EGYPT /home/egypthome/EGYPT/)	

4. Configure EGYPT perl scripts to point to your perl installation and
also the C/C++ makefiles to use your gcc installtion. To facilitate
this, we have created a script that given the path to the perl binary
and the directory where gcc is installed, it will make sure that each
perl script and Makefile is properly configured. This works as follows

	cd /home/egypthome/EGYPT
	perl configure 

This script configures perl scripts first by searching for all perl
scripts templates (*.perl.tmpl), then replace the string "@PERL@" in
the first line (following "#!") by the path to your perl binary
(e.g. /usr/local/perl). Then copy it to afile with *.perl extension
and make is executable. The reason we need this is that perl is not
always installed in the same directory across sites (for example, some
system administrator install it at /usr/local/perl others install it
at /usr/local/bin/perl and so on). 

Then a similar thing is done to configure the path to your gcc
compiler for Makefile templates (Makefile.tmpl).

For more information on this, please refer to the "configure" perl
script. If the script fails, then you shoul properly do this manually
(after all there are only a handful Makefiles and perl scripts!)

This should do it!
