READ ME FIRST: 



The iprobe suite runs on all Alpha machines prior to the EV6.  Iprobe also

requires a kernel >2.1.132, including all 2.2.X kernels. (Redhat 6.0

should work) It has been tested successfully on all Alpha/Linux machines

that boot using the Digital SRM and aboot.  It is NOT verified to work on

machines running MILO.  Your milage may vary!









READ ME SECOND: 



The following installation guide will tell you how to install iprobe on

your Alpha/Linux machine. 

  



NOTE:

-----



I have tried this on systems running Digital PAL code, (those that

boot through the digital unix SRM), and the Freeware Alpha PAL code, 

(those that boot with MILO). 



Run a recent kernel

-------------------



1)      You must have a kernel version >2.1.132. (Including all 2.2.X kernels)



Install the Tools/Library

-------------------------



Now you have 3 choices.  



A) RPM 

	Simply get the RPM, 

	

	rpm -i iprobe_suite-4.1-1.alpha.rpm





OR



B) make install



   Go to the root directory of the source and type 

	"make install".   

	This will create the necessary files and install them. 





OR



C) Do it by hand.



You must create the following device with the following permissions:

        mknod /dev/ipr c 61 0

        chmod a+r /dev/ipr

        chmod u+w /dev/ipr



	copy the binaries to /usr/local/bin: 



	cp ./iprobe/obj/linux_iprobe /usr/local/bin/iprobe

	cp ./ipreduce/obj/linux_ipreduce /usr/local/bin/ipreduce

	cp ./rep/obj/linux_rep /usr/local/bin/rep 



      	Install the library:



	cp ./lib/obj/liblipr.so /usr/local/lib/liblipr.so 





Install the kernel driver.

-------------------------



2) Unzip the kernel module with

	gunzip iprobe_suite-4.1-driver.o.gz 



**********IMPORTANT***********



Each time you want to run iprobe, you

must do this first.



3)      You MUST insert the kernel module.

	(-f allows you to ignore versions number. ) 	



	/sbin/insmod -f iprobe_suite-4.1-driver.o

	

4) Read the documentation in ./doc/TUTORIAL 



5) Wow the world with the speed of your highly optimized code running on

alpha/linux.
