  83 ><P
  84 >&#13;First, you must download the latests version of LTTV. You should get it from
  85 this site : <A
  86 HREF="http://ltt.polymtl.ca"
  87 TARGET="_top"
  88 >ltt.polymtl.ca</A
  89 >.
  90 I suggest that you get it from the "Packages" section.
  91 </P
  92 ><P
  93 >&#13;You need a recent gcc compiler to compile the project. You might want to use gcc
  94 3.2 or newer.
  95 You will also need some libraries in order to compile it. They are described in
  96 the README of the LTTV package. These are GTK 2.0, GLIB 2.0, "popt" and Pango 1.0.
  97 Install them if they are not on your system. Remember that if you use a package
  98 manager from you favourite Linux distribution, you will need to specifically
  99 install the librairies'development packages.
 100 </P
 101 ><P
 102 >&#13;Then, you are ready to compile LTTV. Extract and untar the file you previously
 103 downloaded :

 142 ><P
 143 >&#13;At this point, LTTV is installed in the default directory. You may find the
 144 lttv executable in /usr/local/bin and the librairies in /usr/local/lib. You will
 145 also notice the presence of the convert executable in /usr/local/bin. This tool
 146 will be used later to convert from the Linux Trace Toolkit trace format to the
 147 LTTV format.
