Installing/Compiling CLIPS On Slackware 8.0

Synopsis:
CLIPS is a rules-based AI programming language.

Directions:

1) Connect to the download area of the CLIPS site

2) Change to the directory labeled source

3) Download these files (I recommend creating a specific directory to receive these files
such as /usr/local/src/clips).
- clipssrc.tar.Z
- makefile.Z

4) Return to your machine and untar the first file with the command tar -xvzf clipssrc.tar.Z
(this should create a directory called clipssrc)

5) Uncompress the makefile by typing gzip -d makefile.Z
(this should create the file makefile)

6) Copy the makefile into the directory that contains the source files by typing
cp makefile ./clipssrc/Makefile

7) Change to the source files directory (cd clipssrc) and create the clips executable by
typing make

8) Copy the program file clips to a directory where it can be executed from anywhere on the system
(if that's what you want) by typing cp clips /usr/local/sbin or cp clips /usr/sbin
