The latest 
FilaSitus source code can be downloaded here: DOWNLOAD (extract files with "gunzip" and "tar xvf"). 

Here is a list of UNIX shell commands that generate the executables using the provided Makefile and the "gcc" GNU C compiler (freely available for most UNIX platforms):

gunzip FilaSitus.tar.gz
tar xvf FilaSitus.tar
cd FilaSitus/src

make all

make clean

cd ..

ls bin

The FilaSitus directory contains the legal statement (text file) and the subdirectories src (source code), bin (executables + input files), prepare (developer directory for file preparation, not normally needed bu users), and solutions (tutorial solutions). To remove the created executables enter:

cd src
make veryclean

FilaSitus should work on SGI, HP, Sun, PC/Linux, and MacOS X workstations. Using compilers other than the GNU C compiler usually involves (easy) editing of the Makefile (FilaSitus/src/Makefile) to adjust the C compiler name and options. E.g. for the SGI or MacOS X "cc" compiler, replace "gcc" with "cc".

Note: After installing FilaSitus install the VMD graphics package. FilaSitus does not provide its own molecular graphics viewer but an interface to VMD.
