			"make" xephem

			follow install instructions from INSTALL<br />
			<pre>

			How to install XEphem Version 3.7.7, either for just yourself or system-wide:

			1) Build the executable:

			Explode xephem-3.7.7.tar.gz and change to the build directory:

			$ tar xfz xephem-3.7.7.tar.gz
			$ cd xephem-3.7.7/GUI/xephem

			On Intel x86_32 linux just do this:

			$ make MOTIF=../../libXm/linux86

			On Mac OS X just do this:

			$ make MOTIF=../../libXm/osx

			On OpenVMS just do this (from this directory):

			$@build
			$set def [.GUI.XEPHEM]
			$run xephem

			Otherwise edit Makefile to set the MOTIFI and MOTIFL macros for
			your system then make. If you can not find Motif on your system try
			using your package manager to search for it, for exampe:
			$ yum search openmotif
			$ zypper search openmotif
			$ apt-file search openmotif
			or look for binary kits at http://motif.ics.com/motif or build from
			source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/motif. You'll also need
			a bunch of supporting X11 Windows stuff too, but decent package
			managers will bring those dependencies in for you also automatically.

			In all cases, you'll want the development versions so you can use them
			to build new programs, not just run existing ones.

			2) For a sneak peek, run it now; then click File->Quit and go to the next step:

			$ ./xephem

			If you get a message "X Resources out of date" you have installed
			XEphem before and must locate and remove the old resource file.

			Next do either 3a or 3b, not both:

			3a) Installing XEphem for just yourself without root permission (see
			next step for system-wide multiuser installation):

			3a.1 Copy the executable where you keep your private programs:

			$ cp xephem $HOME/bin # or where ever

			3a.2 Create a directory off your HOME called .xephem for all per-user files

			$ mkdir $HOME/.xephem

			3a.3 Create an initial resource file called $HOME/.xephem/XEphem with
			just one line in it as follows:

			XEphem.ShareDir: <dir>

			where <dir> is the full path of the directory containing the directories
			auxil, catalogs, fifos, fits, gallery, help, and lo. These are in the
			source directory of the original tar kit which is where you are now, if
			you have been following along. You can leave them here if you like or move
			them, just set <dir> to where ever they end up.

			3b) Installing XEphem for multiple users (requires root permission) (skip if
			installing just for yourself):

			3b.1 Copy the executable where everyone can find it:

			$ cp xephem /usr/bin # or elsewhere in your PATH

			3b.2 Create a directory for system-wide read-only files to be shared by all
			XEphem users and fill with the defaults included in this kit:

			$ mkdir /usr/local/xephem # or where ever
			$ cp -R auxil /usr/local/xephem # copy auxil dir and contents
			$ cp -R catalogs /usr/local/xephem # copy catalogs dir and contents
			$ cp -R fifos /usr/local/xephem # copy fifos dir and contents
			$ cp -R fits /usr/local/xephem # copy fits dir and contents
			$ cp -R gallery /usr/local/xephem # copy gallery images
			$ cp -R help /usr/local/xephem # copy help files
			$ cp -R lo /usr/local/xephem # copy lunar db

			3b.3 Do the same as step 3a.3 above but create the new file in a place
			where XEphem can find it from anywhere:

			/etc/XEphem

			3b.4 Copy the man page:

			$ cp xephem.1 /usr/local/man/man1 # or where ever

			4) XEphem uses your browser to display Help. Open Help->Configure and select
			your browser of choice. Use %s where ever the real URL should go. If your
			browser is not listed, figure out the command line to tell it to display a
			local URL, add it to the list and send it to me so I can add it to the FAQ.

			5) Done at least, now just run and go:

			$ xephem


			Thanks for using XEphem!
