Pre-requisit:
-------------

- You must have libev (and the headers) installed. For some systems that means you have to install the "-dev" package.

Has been tested with Libev-3.49 on Linux(gentoo and archlinux) and FreeBSD-6.1, and with libev-3.8 on linux (archlinux and ubunto-904) and OpenBSD (4.5 and 4.6)

This application has not been tested with Python-3.x

To avoid conflicts with the previous version (called Fapws2), better to remove Fapws2 before installation of Fapws3. 

For MacOSX users

If libev is not found in /usr or in /usr/local, please provide the correct name by updating the following environment variables:

That's it ;-).
