Set your environment

OpenIFS uses software called 'FCM' to handle the compilation of the code. FCM is distributed in the tarball downloaded from the ftp site.

Before trying to compile, make sure the FCM directory is added to your PATH environment variable so the fcm command can be found (if you already have fcm available on your system, we still recommend using the distributed version):
