10 Installation

BUG: This section is out of date. Geomview follows the GNU-installation habits, data goes to PREFIX/share/geomview/, user executables to PREFIX/bin/, private executables to PREFIX/libexec/geomview/, libraries to PREFIX/lib/ where PREFIX denotes the installation prefiex specified for the TOPSRCDIR/configure script. Please have a look at the files TOPSRCDIR/INSTALL and TOPSRCDIR/INSTALL.Geomview for installation instructions.

What you do to install Geomview depends on which kind of computer you have and on whether you have the source distribution or the binary distribution.

In general, if you don't care about looking at Geomview's source code, you should get one of the binary distribution. The binary installation is much easier and quicker than compiling and installing the source code.

• Source Code Installation: Compiling and Installing the Source Code Distribution.
