Procedures of installation of filegarden and its possible problems ...

Try to follow the directory structure for first time installation :

but you should be able to install a newer copy of filegarden over an 
older copy ... if dont feel like doing that , probably you can backup 
configuration files before you delete filegarden directories in your
home directory and /opt dirctory ... these are normally with the directory
name of "redstone" ...

If you download filegardenx.x.x.tar.gz or filegarden-sourcex.x.x.tar.gz
then you must unpack them from the parent-root directory of your disk eg. /

/opt/
   - redstone/
            - etc-source/         ------>  not needed if you don't want to compile third parties lib
            - FileGarden/         ------>  needed for execution binaries
            - mainlib/            ------>  needed for compiled runtime libraries
            - source/             ------>  not needed if you don't want to compile filegarden


Step 2. Put line this into /etc/ld.so.conf
    
        /opt/redstone/mainlib

Step 3. Type ldconfig in your terminal and press enter

Step 4. Put line this into your login startup script

        example :  ~/.bash_profile

        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/redstone/mainlib

Step 5. Create a symlink from " /opt/redstone/FileGarden/filegarden-install "
        to " /usr/bin/filegarden-install "
  
        eg.  ln -s /opt/redstone/FileGarden/filegarden-install /usr/bin/
  
Step 6. Logout your linux session( ** not X session ** ) and login again

Step 7. Login as normal user , type " filegarden-install "
        in your terminal and press enter.This will install the program into 
        your home directory. eg. " ~/redstone/FileGarden "
        Watch for errors in your terminal and send me an email if problems
        with libraries not found , runtime error , segmentation faults etc

Step 8. Execute the command " ~/redstone/FileGarden/FileGarden " from your terminal.
  
        The above procedure should work , email me if i had left out something during
        the packaging of the program or you encounter any problem when installing and 
        using of filegarden ...
