30		We have attempted to make it easy for you (and for us) to install
31		the software on differently configured systems using a global make
32		script.  To install the software, just type:
33
34	<	makeall install
34	>	./makeall install
35
36		You can clean up the .o files and so forth with:
37
38	<	makeall clean
38	>	./makeall clean
39
40		Or, if you are confident you can do both at the same time with:
41
42	<	makeall install clean
42	>	./makeall install clean
43
44		You can give other make options at the end of the command as well.  For
45		example, the -n option will tell you what makeall is going to do without
#	Line 43 | Line 48 | actually doing it.
48		If you downloaded the binaries, so compilation is not necessary,
49		run the following command to install the library files only:
50
51	<	makeall library
51	>	./makeall library
52
53		The makeall may script ask you questions about your system and where you
54		want to install the executables and library files.  The pathnames you

79		For complete documentation on the system as of release 3.1, refer to
80		"Rendering with Radiance" by Larson and Shakespeare, which used to be
81	<	available from Morgan Kauffman Publishing.  Unfortunately, the book has
82	<	gone out of print, and the authors are currently looking at alternative
83	<	means of distribution.  The first chapter of this book, which includes
79	<	a basic tutorial and serves as a good introduction for new users, may be
80	<	found in "doc/pdf/RwR01.pdf".  Keep tuned to the radiance website
