    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.
