how to install & run Xphoton?

I’ve got a problem installing it – it ignored /bin/* files and skipped
creating symlinks.
So I made gzip & tar xph*.qpk, and then created symlinks manually…
I think it was a bug when downloading.
Anyways, maybe someone got the same.

  1. "gzip -d " and “tar xvf” xph*.qpk to /usr/X11R6/bin & lib
  2. create symlinks like that:
    libexample.so.6.0.0
    so you need
    ln -s libexample.so.6.0.0 libexample.so
    ln -s libexample.so.6.0.0 libexample.so.6
    with every needed library,
    and to start it
    /usr/X11R6/bin/start_xphoton

You can install Xphoton using the Package Manager utility.

It automatically runs when you start an X application that requires
it.

Almost correct. If it’s installed, it gets started automatically
by the ph script (you just won’t see it until you run an X app)
