LOCFIT

Locfit will be compiled as the four standard locfit libraries (liblocf, liblfev, libmut and libtube), plus libcvers (the command line interpreter) and a small front-end executable locfit.

Download and save the LOCFIT 2.0 source archive.

Unpack,

gunzip locfit.tgz
tar -xvf locfit.tar
cd locfit

If the readline library is available on your system (does
```
ls /usr/lib/libreadline*
```
produce any files?) you can enable readline by adding the line
```
#define USE_READLINE
```
at the top of src-d/main.c, and adding
```
-lreadline
```
to the LDFLAGS in the Makefile.
If your X libraries are not in /usr/X11R6/lib, edit the XLDFLAGS line in the Makefile. LOCFIT can also be compiled with ASCII graphics in place of X.
Compile the source code:
```
make
make install
```
For the ASCII graphics version, use
```
make locfit-nox
make install
```
The make install must be done as root, and installs the libraries, Locfit binary and header files to the /usr/local/ hierarchy. To check that all libraries are properly linked, use
```
ldd /usr/local/bin/locfit
```
If the compilation was successful, LOCFIT is ready to run. Type
```
locfit
```
To install the example datasets,
```
locfit> run install.cmd
locfit> exit
```
