SAGA C++ Core - Installation
                   <http://saga.cct.lsu.edu/software/cpp>


  For detailed informations on how to install SAGA, please refer to the 
  documentation section on the SAGA website:

  http://saga.cct.lsu.edu/software/cpp/documentation 
  

  PREREQUISISTES:
  
  o Boost C++ Libraries >= 1.33
    You need to have the Boost C++ libraries installed on your system. Many
    systems already provide binary packages for them. If your system doesn't 
    you can download Boost from http://www.boost.org and build it yourself.
    
  o SQLite3 / PostgreSQL (Advert/Replica adpaptor ONLY)
    If you want the SQL-based advert and replica adaptors, you will need
    the SQLite3 and/or PostgreSQL client side libraries installed on your 
    system. Most systems should have binary packages available. 

 
  BUILDING AND INSTALLING SAGA CORE
 
  o SAGA comes with a configure/make-based buildsystem. There are two important 
    options to ./configure:

    --prefix=         The location where you want to install 
                      SAGA (e.g. /opt/saga-1.x)
                      
    --boost-location= The location of your boost installation
                      (e.g. /usr/local/packages/boost-1.42). You only
                      need this option if boost is *not* installed in
                      /usr/ or /usr/local

  o For a complete list of configure options, you can try:

    ./configure --help
 

  o To build and install SAGA, execute these three commands. Note
    that 'make install' might require root access - depending on 
    you 'prefix' path:

    $> ./configure --prefix=/INSTALL/DIR --with-boost=/BOOST/DIR/ 
    $> make
    $> make install


  INSTALLING ADDITIONAL ADAPTORS

  SAGA Core only comes with the default (local) adaptors which allow
  job execution on the local machine, local file and SQL-based
  advert and replica handling only. If you want to use additional middleware 
  adaptors, e.g. Globus, Condor or gLite, you  can download them form our 
  website and install them separately:

  http://saga.cct.lsu.edu/software/cpp/download 


  INSTALLING PYTHON BINDINGS

  SAGA Core only comes with the native C++ API. If you want to use the 
  Python API bindings with SAGAi Core, can download them form our website 
  and install them separately:
  
    http://saga.cct.lsu.edu/software/cpp/download

  
  API DOCUMENTATION
  
  You can find the API documentation for the SAGA C++ Core Components 
  either in $SAGA_LOCATION/share/saga/doc/ or online at:
