<i>runit</i> installs into
<a href="http://cr.yp.to/slashpackage.html">/package</a>.
If you don't have a <tt>/package</tt> directory, create it now:
<pre>
 # mkdir -p /package
 # chmod 1755 /package
</pre>
Download
<a href="runit-1.7.2.tar.gz">runit-1.7.2.tar.gz</a> into <tt>/package</tt>
and unpack the archive
<pre>
 # cd /package
 # gunzip runit-1.7.2.tar
 # tar -xpf runit-1.7.2.tar
 # rm runit-1.7.2.tar
 # cd admin/runit-1.7.2
</pre>
On MacOSX, do
<pre>
 # echo 'cc -Xlinker -x' &gt;src/conf-ld
 # cp src/Makefile src/Makefile.old
 # sed -e 's/ -static//' &lt;src/Makefile.old &gt;src/Makefile
</pre>
Now compile and install the <i>runit</i> programs
<pre>
 # package/install
</pre>
If you want to make the man pages available in the <tt>/usr/local/man/</tt>
hierarchy, do:
<pre>
 # package/install-man
</pre>

<pre>
 # mail pape-runit-1.7.2@smarden.org &lt;compile/sysdeps
