This section describes the process to configure and install Papi.
Papi is not provided as binary package by the author. However it might be that someone else set up such a package for your wanted operating system or distribution. Those packages are usually not supported by the author, what means that installation problems or similar issues, which do not target the library directly, should be escalated to the respective supplier of that package.
The unpacked package contains two possibilities of building and installing it. Both ways are mostly identical but the one or other user might tend to prefer a specific way. The first is the python way of installing software, the second follows the tradition of the unix environment and uses a Makefile (which actually simply starts the python way). While being in the top source directory, it is possible to type either
make install
for the traditional unix way or
python setup.py install
for the python way.
The package might have some special options, which are described in the README file shipped with it.
Using the latest development sources is possible via SVN. More information about how to use the SourceForge repository can be found on SourceForge.
It should be noted that using the development sources can cause higher risks to the environment than the usual releases can do. Thus it is highly recommended to read the ocemp-devel mailing list on which actual development ist discussed.
