Installation from source code

Download the specfe sources (replace <xxx> by the latest version):

wget http://www.bessrc.aps.anl.gov/downloadDocs/specfe/specfe-<xxx>.tar.gz

Unpack the sources:

tar -zxvf specfe-<xxx>.tar.gz

Change directory to the newly unpacked sources

cd specfe-<xxx>

Configure the package using the defaults:

./configure

Quickly check the output for any egregious error messages

Alternative configuration for APS users:

As a quick alternative, for people at the APS who might be interested in evaluating specfe, I have included a predefined configuration script, appropriate to build and install specfe in a directory within your home directory, type

./configure-aps

Check the output for any error messages

Compile the package:

make

Again, quickly check the output for any egregious error messages

Install the package:

sudo make install

If you have write access to /usr/local, (for example if you are running as root), you can omit the sudo

Quickly check the output for any egregious error messages

Try to run the package:

cd

specfe
