How can I install xfig in a personal directory?
There are several files that you need: xfig, fig2dev These files should be put in your command search path. CompKeyDB Set the XFIGLIBDIR variable in the Imakefile to the directory you want this file to go into, or specify the file with resource “Fig*keyFile: your_lib_area/CompKeyDB”. Fig and Fig-color (from the Fig.ad and Fig-color.ad files) Set the shell environment variable XAPPLRESDIR to the directory where you want these files to go. Doc/html You must copy this whole directory (and its sub-directory) to the directory where XFIGLIBDIR in the Imakefile points (use cp -r). Doc/xfig-howto.pdf and Doc/xfig.pdf You must copy these two files to to the directory where XFIGLIBDIR in the Imakefile points. • Is there a mailing list or newsgroup specifically for xfig? There are no mailing lists for xfig, but you may send email to xfig-bugs@www-epb.lbl.gov or post questions about it to comp.windows.x, comp.windows.x.apps, comp.os.linux.x, comp.os.linux, or comp.os.linux.misc.
