galaxy Installation

1. Download the tar file (galaxy-xx.tar.gz) to Desktop
2. Open a terminal window
3. $ cd Desktop                        # go to Desktop
4. $ tar -xzf galaxy-xx.tar.gz         # unpack tar to ./galaxy
5. $ cd galaxy                         # go there
6. $ make -B                           # build executable
7. $ su -c "make install"              # install files

Missing dependencies will cause error messages in step 6.
Install these from your repository and repeat step 6.

Step 7 installs application files in the default locations:
   /usr/local/bin/fotoxx             binary executable
   /usr/local/share/fotoxx/          icons, translations ...
   /usr/local/share/doc/fotoxx/      user guide, README ...
Root privileges are needed for step 7, so use su -c or sudo.

If $PREFIX is defined, files go there instead of /usr/local.
If $DESTDIR is also defined, files go to $DESTDIR$PREFIX.

To change the location, do the following before step 6 (make):
   $ export PREFIX=/your/location
If this is within your own directories, then root privileges
are not needed for step 7.

Please review the user guide before trying galaxy.

WARNING June 2008
If you are using Compiz (tansparent and wobbly windows), galaxy may 
cause your desktop to freeze, forcing a reboot.

UPDATE November 2008
This problem seems to be fixed with Compiz version 0.7.8
(as delivered with Ubuntu 8.10)
