6.3 Installing Oak

Oak is available from http://web.mit.edu/ktools/. Download the latest version and unpackage it:

 Solaris% gunzip -c oak-1.3.5.tar.gz  tar xvf -   Solaris% cd oak-1.3.5 

Then configure and build it:

 Solaris% ./configure   Solaris% make 

Because Oak does not make use of any particularly nonstandard libraries, it should build without any problem. When it is complete, you will have a binary called oak , which you can install on your system from a root account:

 Solaris# make install 

This will place a copy of the oak binary in /usr/local/bin/ .
