You have to download the following gzipped tar-files:

Install

Instructions for compilation and use can be found in the README file (psf) and the INSTALL file (psf-dep-bundle).

It is probably the best to make a directory PSF in your home directory, say /home/userX/PSF, and another directory /home/userX/PSF/psf147.
Move psf-dep-bundle-0.1.2.tar.gz to /home/userX/PSF and move psf-1.4.7.tar.gz to /home/userX/PSF/psf147.
Goto /home/userX/PSF and do

tar zxf psf-dep-bundle-0.1.2.tar.gz

and then follow the instructions in the INSTALL file. Here, a typical configuration command would be

./configure --prefix=/home/userX/PSF

for installing it in the PSF directory.

Goto /home/userX/PSF/psf147 and do

tar zxf psf-1.4.7.tar.gz

and do

./install_psf

and it will install in the PSF directory.

Packages

The packages include the psf-dep-bundle. They will install in /usr/local/PSF.

Note that these packages are experimental at the moment. Please report any problems with them.
