4. Installing CSPM and its Requirements

4.1. Installing Qt 3.0 or Later

Qt 3.0 or later must be installed on the system before you install CSPM. Follow these steps to acquire and configure Qt:

• Download the Qt X/11 Free Edition from http://www.trolltech.com for the latest version of Qt.

• Follow Trolltech's instructions for installing Qt.

• When running ./configure, add the -thread switch to the configure program so that Qt is installed to run in multithreaded mode.

• Be sure to export the variables QTDIR and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as described in the Qt installation instructions that are downloaded with the software.

4.2. Installing CSPM

The following steps describe how to download and install CSPM and must be run by the root user. The installation process creates a directory called cspm and places all the files in that directory.

1. Download CSPM from SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects.cspm.

2. Untar the spm.tar.gz file:

   # tar xvzf spm.tar.gz

3. Compile CSPM:

   # make all

   The make command creates the binary call spm in the current directory.

4. Start the CSPM monitor:

   # ./spm

If a segmentation fault occurs when spm is starting up, make sure that you have set the QTDIR and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables, as described in the Qt installation instructions that are downloaded with the software.
