0. Requirements

To install the binary package, you need gtk+, which you probably have if we are
talking about a standard Linux installation. To compile, you additionaly need
gtk include files (see whether you got the directory /usr/include/gtk). [You also
need gdk and glib, but these are also required by gtk, and you probably have
them]


1. Installing a binary RPM package
Assuming the rpm file name is arka-0.01.rpm, type

rpm -i arka-0.01.rpm

or use your favourite rpm frontend (e.g. YAST in a SuSE distro). The package is
now installed.

To uninstall, type

rpm -e arka

or use your favourite rpm frontend.


2. Compiling and installing the source page
Assuming the tarbal name is arka-0.01.tar.gz, type

tar xzf arka-0.01.tar.gz
cd arka-0.01
make

The program is compiled. To install, type

make install

Later, if you want to deinstall the program, type:

make uninstall
