Welcome to CBB!  Here are instructions for installing the program:

Requirements:

tested for Linux Redhat 6.2, but should work just fine with most UNIX
systems.

Perl & Tcl/Tk: CBB required both Perl and Tcl/Tk to run.  These
programs are now provided as standard software on most Linux/UNIX
distributions these days.  If you don't have them, you can find and
download them from www.perl.org and www.tcltk.org.  Make sure that
both programs are in your PATH.  

Installation:

neither Perl nor Tcl/Tk code needs to be compiled.  The only required
step is to tell the programs where they will be installed: some of the
programs need to know where to find the other componenets.  To do
this, run: './configure' in this directory.  By default, CBB will
copy the main program to /usr/local/bin/cbb, and will create a library
directory at /usr/local/lib/cbb.  ***You will probably need root
permission to install CBB at that location.***  Alternatively,  you
may install it somewhere else, perhaps in your own directories.  You
can specify the alternative library directory with the --libdir
option and the alternative program ('binary') directory with the
--bindir option:

Examples: 
./configure --libdir /home/fred/src/lib/cbb --bindir /home/fred/bin
./configure --bindir /usr/bin 
./configure --libdir /opts/lib/cbb

once you have configured the program files, you can install the
programs by running 'make install'.  If you have chosen to place CBB
in a root-access-only location, it is necessary to 'su root' before
running 'make'.
