Download and install lopsub with git clone git://git.tuebingen.mpg.de/lopsub cd lopsub && make && sudo make install If everything mentioned above is available on your system, type make to build libosl. Then type sudo make install to install. Finally, update the library cache by running ldconfig The default installation prefix is `/usr/local`. Use make install PREFIX=/somewhere/else to install in `/somewhere/else` instead.

In order to make these targets the following additional tools are needed: - [discount](http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/Code/discount/) - [ImageMagick](http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php) The osl logo was created with Adobe Illustrator by Sebastian Schultheiss.
