This is an alpha release of this program.  It may contain bugs. It may cause damage to your system.  Use it at your own risk!

Download the program distribution (lletters-0.1.x.tar.gz), and the media
set, unless you've installed it already (lletters-media-0.1.x.tar.gz).

Simple install procedure
========================

  % gzip -cd lletters-0.1.x.tar.gz | tar xvf -  # unpack the sources
  % cd lletters-0.1.x                           # change to the toplevel directory
  % tar zxvf lletters-media-0.1.x.tar.gz        # unpack media set 
  % ./configure                                 # run the `configure' script
  % make                                        # build LLN
  [ Become root if necessary ]
  % make install                                # install LLN

The Nitty-Gritty
================
* This game requires the gtk and gdk-imlib libraries and development headers.
I recommend getting version 1.2.6, but 1.0.x will do. 
The Debian packages are 'gdk-imlib-dev' and 'libgtk1.2-dev'.  
I've also built it on OpenBSD.

GDK_IMLIB info: http://www.labs.redhat.com/imlib/

** No GNOME packages are required!!! (There was some confusion about this**

* Report bugs, suggestions, or comments to kirk_ismay@users.sourceforge.net.  

Adding Pictures
===============

1. Scale your picture to make it fit (if needed). It should be no more than
   450x350 pixels for best results.  The Gimp is excellent for this ;-)
   
2. Copy it to the lletters/images subdirectory 
   (/usr/share/lletters/images/ by default).  Give it the name of the 
   word (ie Balloon.xpm), as this will be used by the program to display 
   the word as a caption.

3. Start the game and enjoy.
