SwissEph version 2.056
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The README is used to introduce the module and provide instructions on
|
|
how to install the module, any machine dependencies it may have (for
|
|
example C compilers and installed libraries) and any other information
|
|
that should be provided before the module is installed.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
On Linux:
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Before installing this module, you have to install a shared library of
|
|
the Swiss Ephemeris functions.
|
|
Unpack http://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/swe_unix_src_2.06.tar.gz
|
|
or whatever the latest version is, or the one you want to use.
|
|
There will be a src directory in the unpacked files. Go there
|
|
and run
|
|
make libswe.so to build the shared library. Copy this file to
|
|
/usr/local/lib64/swe
|
|
|
|
Usually, this will also require that you create a file (as root)
|
|
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/swisseph.conf
|
|
with the content line
|
|
/usr/local/lib64/swe
|
|
|
|
Now run ldconfig(8) (as root) in order to generate the
|
|
symbolic links required.
|
|
|
|
Now you can install the Perl module for the Swiss Ephemeris.
|
|
Type the following:
|
|
|
|
perl Makefile.PL
|
|
make
|
|
make test
|
|
make install (requires root)
|
|
|
|
On Windows:
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Before installing this module, you have to install the following things
|
|
on your computer:
|
|
|
|
- the Swiss Ephemeris DLL swedll32.dll. If haven't done this yet,
|
|
download the Swiss Ephemeris from the download area at
|
|
www.astro.com/swisseph and unpack it.
|
|
|
|
- Visual C++ Express Edition, which can be downloaded for free from the
|
|
http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/.
|
|
|
|
After that you can install the Perl module. In the current directory
|
|
(where you read this README file), open the file Makefile.PL and
|
|
fix the LIBS parameter. It must contain the directory to the Swiss Ephemeris
|
|
DLL. After that run:
|
|
|
|
perl Makefile.PL
|
|
nmake
|
|
nmake test
|
|
nmake install
|
|

|
|
Update 23-march-2016, example how to use PerlSwissEph-2.04.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
download PerlSwissEph-2.04.tar.gz
|
|
unpack it with
|
|
tar xzvf PerlSwissEph-2.04.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
it creates a directory SwissEph-2.04
|
|
cd SwissEph-2.04
|
|
perl Makefile.PL (to create Makefile)
|
|
|
|
there is a warning:
|
|
Warning: the following files are missing in your kit:
|
|
/usr/local/lib64/swe/libswe.so.2.04
|
|
|
|
The tarball contains ./usr/local/lib64/swe/libswe.so.2.04
|
|
you must copy or move this to /usr/local/lib64/swe/libswe.so.2.04 by hand.
|
|
|
|
If your architecture is not 64-bit Linux, you may have to create libswe.so.2.04
|
|
from the Swisseph C source distribution yourself, and then place it properly.
|
|
|
|
Then you must tell the Linux system how to find the dynamic library.
|
|
On Redhat RHEL 6 this goes like this:
|
|
as root, cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d
|
|
edit or create a file swisseph.conf with this line in it
|
|
/usr/local/lib64/swe
|
|
|
|
now run as root: ldconfig
|
|
afterwards, you should find in /usr/local/lib64/swe/
|
|
something like this
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 Mar 23 17:44 libswe.so -> libswe.so.2.04
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 Mar 23 17:43 libswe.so.1 -> libswe.so.2.04
|
|
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 847686 Mar 23 17:10 libswe.so.2.04
|
|
|
|
Now, as normal user, go back to
|
|
cd SwissEph-2.04
|
|
make
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
as root, (unless you can write in the install target directories)
|
|
make install
|
|
