Installing PathScale 3.2 on Ubuntu 7.10

On Ubuntu you need to "export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/pathscale/man" to find
the manuals. Dpkg installation has been tested, we are currently not
supplying a tar package, although we expect that the Fedora tar files would
work.

For a x86-64 system that has all prerequisites satisfied, the installation
will be clean. For a x86-64 system with prereqs missing, there will be some
errors, and debian will prompt the user to install the required packages. For
i386, the main components get installed OK.

The PathScale install script does not support Ubuntu (it is rpm based),
to install the debian compiler packages on Ubuntu please use the following
instructions:

dpkg -i debs/*/*.deb
dpkg -i subscription-server/pathscale-sub-server_3.1.99.14.465.ubuntu7.10.psc_amd64.deb
dpkg -i pathdb/x86_64/pathscale-pathdb-* (the user selects x86_64 or ia32)

Debian normally does not allow you to build different architecture packages on
a system (other than using utilities like linux32, chroot..), so you cannot
easily build a i386 package on amd64. AMD64 packages can be installed on an
ia32 system by the above commands and adding --force-architecture.
