gkII Installation
=================

You need the following libraries:

 * GTK2
 * libpng 1.0.3. 1.0.3 has a crucial bug-fix so earlier versions don't work.
 * libpng requires zlib. 1.1.2 works for me.
 * pkg-config

Most of the requirements will be provided by your Linux distribution,
but if not:

 * GTK2:      ftp://ftp.gtk.org/
 * libpng:    http://www.libpng.org/
 * zlib:      http://www.zlib.org/
 * pkg-config http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/

Once the library dependacies are satisified:

  cd src
  make
  strip gkII (optional)
  sudo make install

==========================
Installing Colour Palettes
==========================

If you're lazy, you don't need to install any colour palettes.
gkII-0.4.5 now generates a random palette if it can't find
default.map, instead of quitting.

If you do want to use colour palettes, gkII and gfract both use
the colour map format used by Fractint, so if you have those you
can use them.

If you have default.map in either of the following locations:

/usr/local/share/gkII/palettes
/usr/local/share/gfract/palettes

then it shall be loaded when gkII starts up.

The colour maps are available from:
http://www.oskusoft.com/osku/gfract/

Once upacked make sure they're world-readable.
