INSTALLATION

        First of all get the Gtk+ 1.2.10 or Gtk+ 2.x libraries
        (runtime and development), if they are not already
        installed on your system. 

INSTALLING XFPROT

Download it at http://web.tiscali.it/tito-wolit/ and extract it:

tar -zxvf gtk_file_manager-xx.tar.gz

To compile gtk_file_manager ,cd to the gtk_file_manager dir and just type:

                su root
                (and provide root password if prompted)
                ./configure
                
        The configure script if used in a non interactive mode accepts
        this command line options:
                -h, --help         print this help, then exit
                --with-gtk1        use Gtk+-1.x libraries
                --with-gtk2        use Gtk+-2.x libraries
                --with-debug       enable debug mode
                --without-debug    disable debug mode
        
        Then type:
        
                make

        If you don't receive any error message, you can install gtk_file_manager typing:

                make install
                or
                make install-strip (to install a stripped version of the binary file).
        
        Please remove previous installed versions of gtk_file_manager with make uninstall (see below).
        
        The binaries are installed by default in /usr/local/gtkfm/ with links in /usr/local/bin/
        so you have to add /usr/local/bin to your PATH variable if it is not there already.
        If you want to change the default install path, change the line:
        
        PREFIX=/usr/local
        
        in the Makefile.
        
        You can uninstall gtk_file_manager any time with:
                
                su root
                (and provide root password if prompted)
                make uninstall

USAGE

The GUI is self explanatory (.... I hope).
