1. Install libraries:

GSL: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/, 
Libconfig: http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/,

Consult readme files to learn how to change install location,
defualt is /usr/local.

OBSERVE: Steps (2-4) may be done in an IDE or with g++ directly

2. Set linker flags: -lconfig++ -lgsl -lgslcblas

3. Set the header file and library search
paths of the two libraries, by default /usr/local/include
and /usr/local/lib respectively.

4. Set flag -fopenmp with compiler and linker.

5. Compile.

6. In "Scripts/Run/myConfig.pm" change 
  $BASE to the top level directory of VisBack.
  $PROGRAM to indicate the folder which has the binary "VisBack" in it, this value is typically a result of where your IDE compiler puts the final binary.
  $MATLAB to indicate the path where the matlab binary is located.

7. In "Scripts/Analysis/declareGlobalVars.m" change variable "base" to top level directory of VisBack.

8. Recompile binaries in folder "Scripts/InfoAnalysis".

***************
