INSTALL - prtraceroute 

Installation:

- Edit the Makefile for

	BINDIR		- Installation directory (default: /usr/local/bin)

        HOSTCMD         - the hostname command for your system.
                          (A simple version is supplied which should work
                           on most platforms - probably not needed anyway).

        KEEPOPEN        - Enables or disables keeping the tcp connection
                          for the built-in whois client. This will only work
                          with RIPE whoisd. Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.
                          (default: TRUE as using whois.ripe.net by default).

	MANDIR		- Man directory (default: /usr/local/man)
        
	TRACEROUTE	- the traceroute command on your system
				(default: traceroute)

        
	PERL		- the full path of Perl on your system
				(default: /usr/local/bin/perl)


	WHOISHOST	- Alternative RIPE whois server
				(default: whois.ripe.net)

	PORT		- Atlernate port for whois server
				(default: 43)

	SOCKSTREAM	- value of SOCK_STREAM. The default is 1.
			  On Solaris 2.* it is 2. If unsure you'll
                          need to check in sys/socket.h of your
                          system include files. Normally somewhere like
                          /usr/include/sys/socket.h and look for the
                          value of SOCK_STREAM. On most systems (not Solaris
                          2.*)  this will look like this.
                          #define SOCK_STREAM     1   /* stream socket */
                          

        FAST            - Used for getting whois data out of the daemon faster
                          This will only work the *latest* RIPE whoisd. 
                          Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.
                          (default: TRUE as using whois.ripe.net by default).

        VERSION         - Used for telling the daemon the version number of the
                         client. This will only work
                          with RIPE whoisd. Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.
                          (default: TRUE as using whois.ripe.net by default).

        
Type the following:

"make" - This will install a executable version in the current directory

"make install" - This will install executable version in BINDIR

"make clean"  -  This make clean, including executable versions in current dir

Optionally:

"make dist"  - This will make a distribution in shar format (requires shar, or
               you need to change the SHAR variable in the Makefile)

"make hostname" - Probably not needed but in case. Makes a very simple version
                  of hostname. It WILL NOT install it anywhere (this is up to
                  you). Then edit HOSTCMD (setting it to simple hostname path)
                  the re-make.
