2. Change directory to /afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/redhat4-x86_64-64bit/ape
3. Unzip and Untar the file ape-2.6-src.tar.gz
4. Change directory to ape-2.6
5. Execute ./configure --prefix=/afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/redhat4-x86_64-64bit/ape/2.6/gcc34

Windows-i386-32bit

1. Obtain the source from James Peachey or from /afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/srcExtLibs
2. Unzip and Untar
3. Create bin and lib directories - otherwise the resulting binaries will not be stored in the appropriate directories and will be written under the vc7 or vc8 directory.
4. Open the vc7 sln solution file in Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 or open vc8 solution file for Visual Studio 9
5. Set to Release mode
6. Set Multi-threaded for all libraries and executables
7. Build the solution resulting in the apelib and associated applications
8. Create a new zip file containing bin, doc, include, and lib
