Linux BNR2beta installation methods
===================================

BNR2 and the QT runtime library can be installed using the
tgz files or the BNR2-install script with the tgz files. The
script and the tgz files can be downloaded from the bnr2.org
or Yahoo! BNR2 web sites.

The QT library needs to be placed in a directory where the
shared object library can be located and loaded. The default
BNR2 installation method uses the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable to locate these libraries.

This readme will explain installation methods using two methods.
First download the following files from the one of the BNR2
web sites into the same directory:

libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so.tgz
BNR2beta-0.xx.x.tgz
BNR-install-script.tgz


Using tar -xvzf <name of tarfile> -C /usr/local/
================================================

You can use this tar example to install the following files:

BNR2beta-0.xx.x.tgz
libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so.tgz

The user needs to login as 'root' and from your download
directory to enter the following command.

Start a command terminal in the download directory.

$ su
Password: ********
# tar -xvzf BNR2beta-0.xx.x.tgz -C /usr/local/
# tar -xvzf libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so.tgz -C /usr/local/


Using BNR2-install script
=========================

The script needs to be placed in the same download directory
where your 'tgz' download files are located. The script needs
to be edited so that BNR2 and/or the libraries can be installed
in the proper directory structure that the user has selected.
Make sure the script is executable. i.e. chmod 755 BNR2-install

The user needs to login as 'root' and from your download
directory enter the following command.

# ./BNR2-install libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so.tgz
# ./BNR2-install BNR2beta-0.xx.x.tgz


The icon BNR2a.png can be used with an application launcher.
