Quick Installation

- To configure and compile SILC package give the comands:
+ To configure and compile SILC package give the commands:
./configure
make (or gmake)
/usr/local/silc/ directory. System wide configuration files are installed
into the /etc/silc/ directory.
-Some Configuration Options

+You may need to add the /usr/local/silc path to your PATH environment

+Configuration Options
+=====================
You can give various options to the `configure' shell script. You should
give --help command to the `configure' to see all of them. Here is listed
library instead of using the MPI library included in the package, you can
give the --with-gmp[=DIR] option to the `configure'. The DIR is the upper
path in your system which contains lib/ and include/ for GMP library.
+ Note that MPI is the prefered arbitrary precision arithmetic library and
+GMP can be used as a fall-back if you have problems with the MPI library
+included within this package.
-'--with-iconv[=DIR]'
+`--with-iconv[=DIR]'
If your system doesn't provide iconv() function in its native libraries
(usually libc) or if this function is broken (e.g. older Solaris systems),
option to the `configure' script. This will assure that assembler
optimized code is not compiled in.
+`--enabled-shared'
+
+ If you wish to compile and install shared libraries then enable this
+option. By default all libraries are compiled as static libraries.
+
`--enable-debug'
If you would like to enable the debugging for the compiled programs
