7. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 
  The Digi Port Authority - Remote package can be installed
  using the rpm utility on the distribution file
  40002188_<version>.src.rpm or, on systems that do not have
  the rpm utility, by using the distribution file
  40002188_<version>.tgz.  To install on a system with the rpm
  utility, do the following:

  Place 40002188_<version>.src.rpm in a suitable directory.

     rpm -ivv 40002188_<version>.src.rpm
     cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
     rpm -bb digidpar-1.01.spec
     cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch>
     rpm -ivv digidpar-1.01-0.<arch>.rpm

  To install on a system that does not have the rpm utility, do
  the following:

  Place 40002188_<version>.tgz in a suitable directory such
  as /usr/src

     cd /usr/src
     tar -xvzf 40002188_<version>.tgz
     cd digidpar-1.01/sme
     make install
     make link

  It is recommended that you do not remove the source tree since
  the makefiles are necessary for the uninstall procedure.

  Note that Digi part number versioning WILL NOT MATCH package
  versioning.  Part number versions will be in the form 
  40002188_A, 40002188_A1, 40002188_B, etc.  Package versioning 
  is in the form Vx.y, where x is the major release level and y 
  is the minor release level.  The package is installed on
  the target machines as "digidpar" and the package version
  can be displayed by issuing the following command:

     pkginfo -x digidpar
