This installation has been tested with UBUNTU 8.04, 
which contains most libraries and programs necessary to 
run the pskmail client on UBUNTU.

The install procedure of the pskmail client 
has been divided in two scripts:

* libinstall.sh to install necessary libraries
* install.sh to install the latest version

Installing libraries and Fldigi
===============================
You need to be connected to the internet to install the following packages:
libportaudio2, libhamlib2 and fldigi.

and the needed libraries:
libgtk2-gladexml-perl, libdigest-crc-perl, gpsd, Net::GPSD.

To install them just run the script from the installation directory 
as root:

cd pskmail-x.x
sudo ./libinstall.sh

Installing pskmail
==================
To install the newest version run the install.sh script from 
the installation directory as root:

sudo ./install.sh

e.g.: cd pskmail-x.x
sudo ./install.sh 

The install script copies the executables to their proper location 
and makes a directory ~/.pskmail which contains your Inbox, Outbox etc.

Running pskmail
===============
You run the program by typing

fldigi --profile emc & 
pskmail

...in a terminal. Keep the terminal open.

Lock the center frequency of fldigi with the 'Lk' button and 
switch Files->logfile ON.

Happy pskmailing!
