	README.RPMS:

	Since I develop Rlab on a Linux machine, I have started
	packaging Linux binary distributions of Rlab with the Red-Hat
	Package Manager (RPM). If you have installed Rlab this way,
	then you are probably reading this file in the /usr/doc/rlab-*
	directory. If that is the case, you will find most of the Rlab
	support files in /usr/local/lib/rlab, and the executable in
	/usr/local/bin/rlab*

	The Rlab Primer is located in
	/usr/local/lib/rlab/doc/rlabp.tex (run it through
	LaTeX). There is a directory full of examples at:
	/usr/local/lib/rlab/examples. 

	If you have installed the Rlab rpm, and it won't run, it is
	probably because you don't have all of the libraries
	installed. When rpm supports dependencies, I will improve the
	package so that there is a warning when you install Rlab
	without the proper support libraries. The libraries you need
	are:

		rblas-*.i386.rpm
		rlap-*.i386.rpm
		rfft-*.i386.rpm
		rnlib-*.i386.rpm
		plplot4p99j-*.i386.rpm

		libf2c-*.rpm

	You can get all of these from the same place you got the Rlab
	rpm from.
