Installing GxSNMP is no trivial task. It requires lots of bits and pieces 
pre-installed and configured before it will even compile. Please carefully
read this file, following the directions carefully. Questions to the
maintainers or the mailing list asking about things covered in this file
will get ignored.

CVS people.
 This is bleeding edge stuff in the cvs tree. If you pull from CVS 
I don't want to see whining messages from you that such and such don't
work or that it fails to compile. If your pulling from cvs and find a problem
and feel compelled to report the problem. I feel compelled to ask for a patch,
to correct said problem. No patch == complaints falling on deaf ears.

Now if that hasn't scared you off, lets go over what you will need installed
before you have a hope in hell of compiling this:

1. libsmi v 0.2 or greater. This can be obtained from the following places:
  * http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/
  * ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/libsmi/
2. Gnome 1.4 or later. Anything earlier may or may not work. If you make it
   work, good for you. 
3. gcc 2.95 or greater. Face it folks 2.7.2 is dead. I don't want to hear
   about egcs, sunpro cc or any other madness. GCC compiles on just about
   every platform out there, and it will generate binaries for just about
   anything with a processor. Patches to make it work with other compilers
   will be considered as long as they don't break GCC. Simple fact here
   I can not afford the propitary tools so I can't maintain specific code
   for odd things. 
4. glibc 2.xx. Libc5 is dead, time to upgrade. Patches to make it work
   on libc systems will be rejected. Sorry past is past and needs to 
   die quietly.
5. gnet 1.0 or higher. 

There will be other requirements but those are valid as of this point.

Once you have the above installed:

./configure --prefix=`gnome-config --prefix` 
<resolve any problems, rm config.cache, repeat till it succeedes>
make
make install

This WILL NOT work unless it is installed. 

Then run gxsnmp and _READ_, yes _READ_ the online documentation about
setting this up. A network management system is a complex beast.
