Use of LXR 0.11 is not recommended, unless you cannot upgrade your Perl interpretor to version 5.10 at least.

This release is frozen and still contains bugs which have been corrected in later releases. Only "compatibility" bugs will be accepted.

The current version of LXR depends on the software tools enumerated below. Instructions are given for Linux, but similar steps can be inferred for Windows or other OSes.

In all cases, the preferred method of installation of these tools is a package download of your favourite distribution, so that you do not bother with compiling and configuring the tool, which may require expertise beyond the need of using LXR. If you really must compile and configure, refer to the appropriate documentation for installing each tool. There is usually a fairly automated procedure.
