Installing NeTraMet
-------------------

1) If you want to use the Unix traffic meter you must install
   libpcap (available from ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov).

2) Set the LIBS environment variable to be -L/dir_path, where dir_path
   specifies the directory containing your local libraries (e.g. libpcap.)
   For example, if you are using csh as your shell, use

     setenv LIBS -L/usr/local/lib

   Note that the -L part of this command is particularly vital!

3) Make a directory for NeTraMet, e.g. ntm

     mkdir ntm
     cd ntm

4) Copy the distribution file (NeTraMetXX.tar.gz) into the ntm directory.

5) Unzip it:

        tar xzf NeTraMetXX.tar.gz  # Linux
     or gzip -dc NeTraMetXX.tar.gz | tar -xf -

6) Move into the NeTraMetXX and run the configure script to build NeTraMet's
   make files:

     ./configure
   
   Note, should you want the neTraMet files installed into a directory
   oter than /usr/local/bin, you can do

     ./configure --prefix=/other/directory

   instead. If you are using csh you might use back quotes to 
   make it easier to specify the filename, e.g.

     ./configure --prefix=`echo ~/other`

   For more information about options with configure type

     ./configure --help

   Notes:
    * If ./configure can't find libpcap it will leave NeTraMet out
      of the src/meter Makefile.  NetFlowMet (which doesn't need
      libpcap) will still be in the Makefile.

    * If ./configure can't find the X-windows libraries it will
      leave nifty out of the src/manager Makefile.  The other
      manager programs (NeMaC, nm_rc, nm_st, fd_util, fd_extract)
      will still be in the Makefile.

    * If ./configure can't find the Motif libraries it will leave
      nifty out of the src/manager Makefile (as above).  nifty
      requires either Motif or lesstif.

7) Make NeTraMet

     make

8) Install the programs

     make install
