which seem to work). You must use the Suse blt package as it is
patched to work with the Tcl/Tk 8.4 Suse packages.

4. Debian:
- grab the latest moodss and moomps packages.

5. UNIX (Linux, Solaris, ...) from source:
- Tcl and Tk 8.4.6 or above need be installed and working on your platform
- The latest BLT library (at http://sourceforge.net/projects/blt/,
BLT2.4?.tar.gz) needs to be installed (always grab the latest version);
follow the installation instructions in the BLT package, then make
sure it works:
    $ wish
    % package require BLT
    2.4
- The tkTable widget library version 2.7 or above for UNIX (at
http://tktable.sourceforge.net/) also needs to be installed on your system:
    $ wish
    % package require Tktable
    2.8

- Install from the directory where moodss was unpacked:
    $ make ROOTDIR=/home/jdoe/moodss install
(look at the top of the Makefile for default installation directories and
supported modules of the platform).
- You may also use moodss from the unpacking directory. For example:
    $ cd /home/jdoe/moodss-18.0
    $ make
    $ ./moodss random

- If you need the database history feature, get and install:
  - mysqltcl from http://www.xdobry.de/mysqltcl/ for native MySQL.
    Check that it works:
    % package require mysqltcl
    2.50
or
  - SQLite from http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/ for a file based SQL
    library. Download (or re-compile) tclsqlite.so and install it into the
    sqlite sub-directory (from the installation moodss directory where all
    the modules are located).
    Check that it works (from the installation moodss directory):
    % lappend auto_path .
    % package require sqlite
    2.0
or
  - tclodbc from http://tclodbc.sourceforge.net/) for ODBC (unixODBC)
    Check that it works:
    % package require tclodbc
    2.2.1

- for the moomps daeamon, you need to install TclX (from
  http://tclx.sourceforge.net). Check that it works:
    % package require Tclx
    8.3.5

- Install the optional R package (www.r-project.org) if you want to
predict the future behavior of data cells.

- Install the optional tclperl package if you want to test or develop
modules written in the Perl language (available from my homepage).

- Install the optional tclpython packages if you want to test or
develop modules written in the Python language (available from my
homepage).
