Installation Instructions for PB and PG
=======================================
 
This package requires ncurses and the AX.25 library (libax25). You must
ensure that they are installed on your system prior to attempting the
installation of PB/PG. They should be available on the CDs of your
distribution. If they are not try the following URLs:

ncurses:  http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/
libax25:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/ax25/


The distribution tar file is placed in a suitable directory, e.g. 
/usr/local/src and unpacked:

   tar xzvf pbpg-2.2.0.tar.gz

The files from the distribution are now located in directory pb-pg-2.2.0.

Cd to the new directory and execute the following commands:

	./configure
	make
	su -c 'make install'
	
The latter command will install PB, PG and other executables in 
/usr/local/bin (defaults for configure - may be changed.
See the help output from configure (./configure --help))

The documentation (README and TODO) are installed in /usr/local/share/pbpg 
(default).

A sample configuration file pb.conf.example is installed in /etc/pbpg.
Copy (or rename) it to pb.conf and modify this according to your needs - see 
the section on runtime configuration in README.

Note that the UID bit is not set for PB and PG and that both programs
must by run as 'root' as root priviledges are needed for some socket 
operations in the programs.

To remove the programs completely from your PC, cd to the directory
containing the source file and execute (as root)

make uninstall

This will reverse the installation process. Your personal configuration
pb.conf wil not be removed from /etc/pbpg.
