Installation Instructions:

    1. Copy the asaphybridforlinux.1.0.7.tar.gz archive 
       file from the WS_SW directory on the product CD to the
       Linux system.  The file can be copied to any directory
       to which you have access, but ideally the directory
       should be empty and should be named appropriately
       (for example, asaphybrid.1.0.7).  This directory is
       referred to throughout the remainder of this
       document as the "installation directory". 
    
    2. Extract the files contained in the archive using the
       tar command with the -xzvf options.  For example:
    
          tar -xzvf asaphybridforlinux.1.0.7.tar.gz
    
       This will create five subdirectories within the
       installation directory: bin, doc, include, lib, and
       sample, and place the appropriate files in them.
    
    3. You can leave the files in these locations, which is
       the recommended approach.  This makes it easier to
       manage the ASAP Hybrid file set, and simplifies the
       process of upgrading to newer versions of ASAP Hybrid
       as they are released.  However, you can move the files
       to the standard Linux locations (/usr/include for the
       header file, /usr/lib for library files, etc.) or any
       other location if you?d prefer.  This is perfectly
       acceptable; the only restrictions are:
    
       - The server configuration file (asap.conf), if you
         choose to create one, must reside in the same
         directory as the Linux server executable
         (asapxserver.1.0.7).  The server reads this
         configuration file at startup, and expects to find it
         in the same directory as the program executable.
    
       - The directory containing the Linux server executable
         must be secured such that files can be created and
         written in that directory.  The server can optionally
         create files at run time, including log files, trace
         files, and domain status files.  These will be located
         in the same directory as the program executable.
    
       - Both asapremove* files must be located in the same
         directory.
    
       - Both asapxserver* files must be located in the same
         directory.
    
       - The three libasapx.a.* files must be located in the
         same directory.
    
       - The three libasapx.so.* files must be located in the
         same directory.
    
       - The three libasapx64.a.* files must be located in the
         same directory.
    
       - The three libasapx64.so.* files must be located in the
         same directory.
