Installing the CHISE-core/CHISE-base package
********************************************

What is CHISE-core/CHISE-base
=============================

CHISE-core is a package to install core functionalities of the CHISE
environment.  It contains the Concord Library, the CHISE Library
(libchise) and the CHISE general character database (chise-db).  You
can install them easily.

CHISE-base is also an installation package, but it supports not only
libchise but also XEmacs CHISE environment.  It contains whole
elements of CHISE-core, XEmacs CHISE, tomoyo-tools (an Emacs Lisp
utilities about character database for XEmacs CHISE) and the CHISE-IDS
package.


PREREQUISITES
=============

Please install
 - Berkeley DB Version 3 or later
before installing CHISE-core.

If you install CHISE-base, please install additional libraries to
install XEmacs.

=============

Installing CHISE-base

Even if you get the CHISE-core package, it is available if you can use
