[Lcdproc] Running Problems

[Stewart W. Putnam]

Start  LCDd from within it's build directory with "server/LCDd -c 
/usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf &"  The "&" at the end says "once you start let 
go of the window that started you and run independently."  [ What is the 
ampersand called in this context ?... There is some more technical term 
for this that I have forgotten...] You should then be able to type more 
commands in the shell.

Your "/usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf" says to me that you are likely on a 
system different than I use, so how to make LCDd start automatically 
after a "make install" will be different.

After starting LCDd, "clients/lcdproc/lcdproc &" should put up a default 
client with several new display screens.  This simply to test that it is 
all working.

To read about how to make a new client to display your own data, cd 
doc*/lcdproc-dev, read the README.docbook, and build the 
lcdproc-dev.html, and read section 3 there. 

In the contrib and clients directories there are some fairly simple 
examples of .c and .pl programs that connect to LCDd and put up screens.
