Setting the configuration parameters

The first step in using the configure script is to set the values of configurable parameters. The configure script first assigns default values to these parameters, and then checks to see if the file configure.parameters exists. If it does, the script will read this file and use the values for parameters listed there. Edit the file configure.parameters and change the settings of the variables to the required values. The file is interpreted as a Bourne shell script, so blank lines and comments beginning with the # character are permissable. All parameters are of the form

<keyword>=<value>

with no space characters on either side of the equal sign. This section lists the keywords, purpose, and possible values for each parameter. If a parameter is not listed at all in the file configure.parameters, its default value will be used.
