To use the IDL compiler fnidl you must have a C/C++ pre-processor installed on your path. By default, Fnorb looks for one with the name gcc, or cpp, but if you have some other pre-processor then you must edit the file ``Fnorb/script/cpp.py'' and set the COMMAND variable as appropriate.
$ gunzip fnorb-1.2.tar.gz
$ tar xvf fnorb-1.2.tar
$ python setup.py install
There are many options for installing Fnorb. For a detailed discussion, see the Distutils documentation [5].
