1) Get ipcs.tar from, say, rich.pppl.gov ~gibney/ipcs/ipcs.tar - Note: this is a Solaris-specific tar file, but Makefiles can probably be modified for other os's. 2) Create /nstxusr1/ipcs2 or whatever directory will be the production dir. 3) Unpack ipcs.tar ; modify /opt/ipcs to /nstxusr1/ipcs2 ... > tar xf ipcs.tar #creates subdirectory "ipcs" > find -exec grep -l '/opt/ipcs' {} \; Edit the files listed by find/grep. > cd ipcs > make #note: this won't complete successfully > make install #copy to production directory ... > make #repeat make with installed stuff > make install #copy remaining stuff to production dir
