 Where to find the coastline data for GMT
==========================================

While I wanted to package installers for the coastline data I think I will 
not get around to it in time to the freeze. So here is where to get them
and install them manually:

 (1) Get the tar archives from one of the ftp servers:

       ftp://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/pub/gmt (Main Site)		or
       ftp://falcon.grdl.noaa.gov/pub/gmt			or
       ftp://ftp.iag.usp.br/pub/gmt				or
       ftp://ftp.geologi.uio.no/pub/gmt				or
       ftp://life.csu.edu.au/pub/gmt				or
       ftp://ftp.eos.hokudai.ac.jp/pub/gmt

     If you have netselect installed, you can find the host best suited 
     to your location by just running 

       netselect `cat mirrors`

     from this directory.

 (2) The files you want are

       GMT_high.tar.gz	resp. GMT_high.tar.bz2
       GMT_full.tar.gz  resp. GMT_full.tar.bz2

 (3) After you got the files extract them with tar e.g.

       tar -xzvf GMT_high.tar.gz resp. tar -xIvf GMT_high.tar.bz2
 
 (4) Move the files from the resulting share directory into /usr/share/gmt/lib:
 
       mv share/*.cdf /usr/share/gmt/lib/
 
 (5) Try if it works and pester me with email otherwise :)
