The CVS distribution is a full source distribution so you can
build and run the class library. It can be installed anywhere
you like (I have it under /YAWN/CLASSLIB on my system), and when
you build it will install the runtime pieces in the correct
locations.
If you're just interested in the runtime, I think these are
the pieces you need:
mpe.jar - the class library itself
sysintr.jar - prebuilt classes for all MPE intrinsics
libmpe.sl - native code
As far as where these files go, the .jar files can go anywhere
along the CLASSPATH, and the .sl file anywhere along the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The simplest solution is to put them in
locations where the system always searches, regardless of
the CLASSPATH setting. For the .jar files, this is
/usr/local/java/latest/jre/lib/ext
For the .sl files, it is
/usr/local/java/latest/jre/lib/PA-RISC/
While this makes it simpler to run, beware that anything put
into the ext directory is _always_ searched when looking for
classes, so you can impact class loading performance systemwide
by loading up the directory with seldom-used .jar files.
I'd also recommend taking a look at the README file and the
examples subdirectory; this is the only documentation that
exists for the class library.
