Compilation

The good news is you don't have to compile anything (except perl). There are a couple of routines in the tools directory that you may wish to compile and use but they are not a part of Plexus and are not required for normal operation.

What you may need to do instead is configure the various paths for your system. I assume that you have perl loaded in /usr/bin/perl. If you do not, then you need to either create a symbolic link (e.g., ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl) or change all the files in the distribution that contain the line #!/usr/bin/perl (namely src/plexus).

The files in the src directory are the core services files. Those are the only files you need to run a basic server, everything else is optional.
