Install.txt:

Installation should be simple, as there is nothing to compile.
The GTK-2.8 requirements are another matter...
You have what is one of two packages.
1) A binary distribution
2) A source package
The source distrib requires a recent GTK (2.8+) as well as the 
python bindings (pyGTK, pyCairo.) The binary distrib is my 
attempt to make a more general distribution for distros like
Ubuntu without needing any extra packages -- but your mileage 
may vary. --If you want simple but the source code does not run 
for you, try the binary package before you start installing lots 
of support libraries. 
If you build SVGpage on another distro, please let me know and I 
will post a link or even mirror your package if you would like me to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) A binary distribution
	  a.)Decompress the SVGpage_bin-x.x.bz2
	  b.)Start the binary version by running "SVGpage"
	NOTE:
	  Binary runs on a default install of Ubuntu-5.10 and
	  my bastardized Slackware 10.2/current/custom.
2) A source package
	REQUIREMENTS:
	Autotrace is needed, but a precompiled version is included in the directory with 
	the binary distribution of SVG-page, which should work on most systems. If 
	that autotrace does not work for you, then download autotrace for yourself from:
	http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/
	My version is built statically, without pstoedit or imagemagick, with gcc-3.3.5.
	If autotrace is in your PATH, SVGpage will use that version instead of the 
	precompiled version I include.
	-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	For source AND binary versions you need to meet the GTK-2.8 requirements:
	(usually your package manager will handle the fine details for you)
	The important points are:
	GTK >= 2.8	(I built on 2.8.17) 
	glib >= 2.8
	Cairo >= 1.0	(I used 1.0.4. Cairo IS a GTK requirement as of 2.8)
	pkg-config-0.19
	And be running:
	X.org-6.8.2 or XFree86-4.5.0 (or greater)
	That's for GTK. More explicit GTK build instructions
	for the self-compiler crowd are available at:
	http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html
	Their requirements apply, and for SVGpage you also will need:
	python >= 2.4 (I used 2.4.3)
	------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Source or Slackware downloads have these additional requirments:
	(Which the binary folks dont need.)
	libsvg >= 0.1.4
	libsvg-cairo >= 0.1.6
	pycairo >= 1.0.2
	pyGTK >= 2.8
	------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	The imghdr.py included is a replacement for the python-2.4.x series.
	It includes support for Exif and XPM images. Leave it in the folder 
	with the SVGpage.py file and it will be imported from there without any 
	other configuration...
