Unpack the source tarball wavlevel-0.1.tar.gz in any directory by typing gunzip wavlevel-0.1.tar.gz tar -xvf wavlevel-0.1.tar cd wavlevel-0.1 Since WAVLEVEL and WAVFADE do not use any extraordinary libraries only a very simple Makefile exists. (no configure scripts) The default install path for the two emerging binaries is /usr/local/bin which can be changed by altering the $(BININSTALL) makro in the Makefile. To compile and install the programms type make clean depend all install To get rid of them again type make uninstall
