Installation of MuPAD 2.5.2
===========================


Files:

MuPAD-2.5.2-1.i386.rpm	     -- a MuPAD RPM for Linux
MuPAD-scilab-2.5.2-1.i386.rpm-- a Linux RPM for the additional 
                                numerical package Scilab
                           
share_252.tgz                -- all files shared on all UNIX systems

bin_$ARCH_252.tgz            -- binaries for architecture ARCH 
                                (at the moment: linux + solaris)
bin_$ARCH_semistatic_252.tgz -- binaries for architecture ARCH
                                (with statically linked Motif libraries)
bin_$ARCH_scilab_252.tgz     -- binaries for architecture ARCH 
                                inclusive the numerical package Scilab
                                (at the moment: linux + solaris)


Installing the RPMs for Linux:

    If you have choosen to install the Linux RPMs, download
    MuPAD-2.5.2-1.i386.rpm and optionally MuPAD-scilab-2.5.2-1.i386.rpm
    and install these RPMs on your system with:

    rpm -Uhv MuPAD-*.rpm

    Afterwards you can start 'mupad' or 'xmupad' from a shell.


Traditional installation from TAR balls:

    You need the share_252.tgz file and the bin_$ARCH_252.tgz (or
    bin_$ARCH_scilab_252.tgz) file for your architecture for a MuPAD 
    installation.

    Choose an installation directiory (e.g. /usr/local/MuPAD/).

    mkdirhier /usr/local/MuPAD/
    cd /usr/local/MuPAD/
    tar xzf <path_to>/share_252.tgz
    tar xzf <path_to>/bin_$ARCH_252.tgz

    Please extend your PATH environment variable in order to start
    MuPAD:

      (for tcsh/csh in ~/.cshrc)
         set path = ($path /usr/local/MuPAD/share/bin)

      (for sh/bash/ksh in ~/.profile)
         PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/MuPAD/share/bin
         export PATH

    Now you can start 'mupad' or 'xmupad' (make sure that you reread
    the initialisation files first).

    If you have problems with xmupad (missing or wrong version of motif
    libraries on your system), get and install bin_$ARCH_semistatic_252.tgz
    for your architecture.
