ChangeLog : Add support for execution from user's home directory

Some changes to directory structure of the program

Suggestion and advice are welcome from anybody.Don't hesitate. Any new features suggested will be consider seriously as long as it is within my ability.

1. Login as root ,Uncompress the gzip file into " /opt " under the root directory . eg.

/opt/

• redstone/
  • FileGarden/
  • mainlib/ 2) Put line this into /etc/ld.so.conf

/opt/redstone/mainlib

3) Type ldconfig in your terminal and press enter

4) Put line this into your login startup script

example : ~/.bash_profile

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/redstone/mainlib

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/

6)Logout your linux session( ** not X session ** ) and login again

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

8)Execute the command " ~/redstone/FileGarden/FileGarden " from your terminal.

The above procedure should work , email me if you encounter any problem.

8)Read the configuration file and compare it to the program,s interface You should be able to figure it out structure of the file :

~/redstone/FileGarden/xfg.conf

note : try to be case-sensitive and neat with configurations

         enscript must be installed to run the program and the 
         page setup dialog
