INSTALLATION
------------
You need kde beta 4 or higher, libqt1.3 or higher to be able to compile keirc and libtcl (i use tcl7.5) 
in order to be able to use TCL Script. 
This version of keirc uses automatic configuration script for checking 
libtcl and tcl.h include. If configure didn't find tcllib, and you are sure, that
you have tcllib installed in your system, then do following:
   - make environment variable TCLLIB to tell configure where your tcllib directory or
   - copy your tcllib file (libtcl.a, libtcl7.6.a ... libtcl8.0.a) to /usr/local/lib
   - run ./configure again


Installation of keirc is very simple: 
Unpack the tar file: tar xzvf keirc-xxx.tar.gz or
                     gunzip -c keirc-xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf ,
go to the keirc directory, and then just type
   ./configure 
then 
   make 
to build the executable. Typing
   make install
should put things in the right place.

To complete the installation, you will probably wish to edit the default 
configuration. Some configuration file will be installed on directory
   ~/.keirc/

You can edit these file manually or by setup Option on kEirc.
