[Difx-users] about difx2mark4 installation

[Geoff Crew]

Hi Maria Eugenia,

Unfortunately difx2mark4 requires the difxio library which is
part of the full difx tree.  (I don't think think anyone has
tried piecewise compilation of parts of DIFX yet.)

http://www.atnf.csiro.au/vlbi/dokuwiki/doku.php/difx/installation

is the entry for compiling the full tree, and there are two
scripts (install-difx and difxbuild) that do it all for you once
you have all the required packages.

The easier alternative is to ask the correlator people who gave
you the .difx file to run difx2mark4 for you.  There are additional
files (inputs from the correlation) that are needed in any case.
