Other Requirements

LISa and resLISa need a libstdc++ (it uses only the string-class from it), it does not need either Qt™ nor KDE.

In order to compile and install LISa on your system, type the following in the base directory of the LISa distribution:

% ./configure
% make
% make install

Since LISa uses autoconf and automake you should have no trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the TDE mailing lists.

Other Requirements

Both resLISa and LISa open a so called “raw socket” to send and receive ICMP echo requests (pings). To do this, they need root privileges.

LISa offers a service on TCP port 7741, and should be installed by root and started when the system comes up. It depends greatly on your operating system how to achieve this.

resLISa is intended to be started per user, it doesn't offer anything to the network. It needs to be installed setuid root.

If you use the rlan ioslave from KDE 2, resLISa can be started automatically.

LISa reads the file lisarc, resLISa reads the file reslisarc. If you want to be able to configure both from KControl, you have to start them using the command line switch -K.

For more information where they look for configuration files read the chapter on Chapter 5, Command Line Options and Other Usage.
