Installing GINF

GINF is available either as the source files, or as a binary executable. If you downloaded the source-code tarball, in order to build the binary, you have to compile the package. GINF uses the GtkHTML library v1.0.2 for rendering HTML documents, and hence you must have the GtkHTML library (> 1.0.2) installed in order to successfully compile GINF.

Compiling/Running GINF

Extract the files from the tar-ball (be default to: ginf/)
tar -zxf ginf-1.01-src.tar.gz [ENTER]
cd ginf/ [ENTER]

Now become root by typing:
su [ENTER]
Enter the root password, and execute the script:
./install.sh 1 [ENTER]

To run ginf, just type:
ginf [ENTER]

If you do not have GtkHTML library you can obtain it from rpmfind.net for your platform.


Removing GINF

To remove GINF, just run the script:
./install.sh 2 [ENTER]
