To compile the Rappture Library, the following must be done: 1) Adjust the Makefile. Change Makefile variables as needed. Pay particular attention to compilers, CFLAGS, directory names, and where python components are located. Make sure you change the variable 'EMB_PY_FLAGS' to point to the location of the python shared (or static) object library is located. It can be placed in the lib directory directly above this directory. 2) Adjust the file 'include/cee/rappture_interface.h' Line 1 of rappture_interface.h includes 'python2.4/Python.h'. Make sure this file (and all of its supporting files) exist in the directory 'include/cee/'. Replace 'python2.4/Python.h' with the version of python being used and the location where Python.h can be found. Python.h and all of its suppoting files can be downloaded from http://www.python.org/download/. You will only need the header files to fulfill this task. If you do not have a python object library, you will need to compile python with the appropriate flags (--enable-shared) to get it. 3) Make sure the Rappture module is installed in Python. 4) Make a library make librappture
