This package was tested on:
    Debian 5.0/6.0/7.0 (32 bit & 64 bit)
    SuSe 11.2, 11.4, 12.1 (64bit)
    compilers: gcc 4.3.x, gcc 4.4.x, 4.5.x, 4.7.x 

  
INSTALLATION:

1. Unpack this DABC distribution in the future DABC system directory.
   
      [shell] cd /usr/local/pub/dabc 
      [shell] tar xzvf /path/to/the/file/dabc.tar.gz 
  
   or checkout DABC from repository:
   
      [shell] cd /usr/local/pub 
      [shell] svn co https://subversion.gsi.de/dabc/trunk dabc
   
3. To compile dabc, just call make:
   
       [shell] make
       
    One could specify following options:
    
       noverbs=1 - disable compilation of IB VERBS plugin. In some situation
                   plugin can have problem during compilation and can be disabled
                   with such option

       nodim=1 - disable compilation of DIM plugin.

       with-stream=1 - if available, build plugin for 'stream' analysis framework.
       
4. After successful compilation "dabclogin" script will be generated,
   which should be called like ". dabclogin" before dabc can be used 

5. Use executable "dabc_exe you_file.xml" for single node applications, 
   "dabc_run you_file.xml" for multi-node applications

6. Read the DABC online documentation (on dabc.gsi.de) 
   for further information how to configure the DABC and how to use the GUI!
