The Newbie.Install is a bit dated, and after 14 hours of playing with code I came up with this installation method.
Newbs can have Showeq up and running in about 5mins...given that their LAN and various other elements are installed properly.
1. Download RedHat Linux 9 from www.redhat.com.
2. Burn them to CD's.
3. Use the cd's to create a boot image-stick that on a diskette, boot up you computer with the diskette and cd 1.
4. Skip cd testing and click through the basics. When given an option as to what platform you want to install, ie. Games/Software Developer/etc. choose CUSTOM.
5. Customize the basics until you are give a giant list of pacakges. Scroll to the bottom and check EVERYTHING.
6. The install takes about an hour (or more). Once Linux is up and running create a folder in your /home/username directory called seq (or something like that).
7. Next, go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/seq and look for the latest version of seq.
8. Save the file to your /home/username/seq folder and download it.
9. Open a new terminal and type: su
password: [enter your root password].
10. When you are given the [root@localhost username]# prompt, enter the following code line by line.
[]# cd /seq/showeq/
[]# export CC=gcc3
[]# export CXX=g++3
[]# export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.2.3
[]# make -f Makefile.dist
[]# ./configure
[]# make
[]# make install
***Note that the software will begin installing before you can enter all of these lines. Just let it do its work, and when it stops or gives you the root@localhost username]# prompt, just enter the remaining lines.
11. And there you have it, ready to rock. No need to run any updates.
12. For information on running Showeq, please see the FAQ or the Install.Newbie [link below].
