1. **INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS**
REQUIREMENTS FOR:
Wrapped executable version (with "wrp" in distribution filename):
* This version does _not_ need Tcl/Tk installed on your system.
* Image Magick and Weblint is also recommended (but not necessary). August uses
Image Magick
commands to determine width and height of images, and Weblint to check html
syntax.
Tcl script only version (with "src" in distribution filename + pre 0.60
versions):
* This version needs Tcl/Tk version 8.0 or better installed on your system! I
think all Linux distributions
have it included as a standard feature.
* Image Magick and Weblint is also recommended (but not necessary). August uses
Image Magick
commands to determine width and height of images, and Weblint to check html
syntax.
NOTE:
If you're upgrading to August 0.61b or newer from an older version you may have
to delete or edit
the "Augustoptions.tcl" file that resides in the ~/.August directory. The format
of this file has changed
a bit; a correct line in this file now looks like this:
set August(tpldialog) {yes}
Before it looked like this:
set August(tpldialog) "yes"
If you don't do this you may get a message like this when you try to run august:
"Error in startup script: quoted string doesn't terminate properly
[...]"
NOTE:
If you have been running August 0.42, you'd better take a look at the hidden
".August" subdirectory in your
home directory. This particular release creates a lot of buffer files that isn't
erased when August is shut
down, so there may be large number of files there. Just do "rm *.bf" and they
are gone. Hint: Don't do
this when August is running!
It should very simple to install August on your system, at least if you're
running Linux.
Download the gzipped file with the August wrapped executable or tcl script,
unpack it, and put the "august" file in a
directory that's in your path - I suggest /usr/local/bin. Then you should be
able to start August
by typing "august" at the command line.
If it doesn't work, maybe the path to the wish tcl/tk interpreter is wrong, or
you have
to do "chmod +x" on the "august" executable.NOTE: This is what happens when you
get an
error message like this one:
"couldn't recognize image data while executing
"image create photo fopen -data $fopen"

2. (file "./august" line 856)"
Type "which wish" at the prompt and check that this path is the same as the one
at the first line of
the August script file "/usr/bin/wish". If it's not, change the August script to
the path
you got from the wish command.
"/usr/bin/wish" is actually symbolic link to the real wish executable, which can
create problems on some systems.
There may be several versions of the wish interpreter on your system, and maybe
the wish symlink points to an
older version that doesn't work with August. So you may have to change that
first line to
"/usr/bin/wish8.0" (or something similar...) instead! For example, this should
work on SUSE Linux 6.2:
#!/usr/X11R6/bin/wish8.0
*Good luck!*
