        !             2:                        How to install trafshow.
        !             3: 
        !             4: 
        !             5: 1.  First, make sure the libpcap already installed into your system.
        !             6:     See the README file in this directory for the minimum required version
        !             7:     of libpcap and it distribution. Follow the INSTALL file of pcap library
        !             8:     to build and install it.
        !             9: 
        !            10: 2.  Next, make sure you have already installed the curses library.
        !            11:     The most systems has the ncurses as default curses library. Currently
        !            12:     trafshow may be compiled with any curses library, configure script will
        !            13:     detect the prefered curses that supports colors.
        !            14: 
        !            15: 3.  Now, decide whether you want to place trafshow and man page.
        !            16:     The configure script option `--prefix' changes the root directory for
        !            17:     installing trafshow (/usr/local by default). Use `--prefix=/usr' to
        !            18:     replace your default trafshow distribution or just edit the BINDEST
        !            19:     and MANDEST paths in Makefile.in.
        !            20: 
        !            21: 4.  Type `./configure' to determine your system attributes and libraries
        !            22:     to generate an appropriate Makefile from Makefile.in and config.h from
        !            23:     config.h.in.
        !            24:     Some systems require unusual options for compilation of linking that
        !            25:     the configure script does not know about. You can give `configure'
        !            26:     initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
        !            27:     a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
        !            28:     this:
        !            29:          CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
        !            30: 
        !            31: 5.  Type `make' to build the trafshow program.
        !            32:     Ignore any warnings, no error messages should be produced.
        !            33:     If you system is not listed in the README as one which we have tested,
        !            34:     you may have to modify the configure script, Makefile.in and probably
        !            35:     config.h.in. Please send us patches for any modifications you need to
        !            36:     make.
        !            37: 
        !            38: 6.  Login as root and type `make install'.
        !            39:     This should install trafshow and man page into your system.
        !            40:     It also copy example file of color configuration in /etc/trafshow, it
        !            41:     not replaced if already there.
        !            42:     By default, trafshow is installed with no any set-uid permission. So
        !            43:     you would decide who must have access to the packet capture devices.
        !            44:
