Dear Ernesto, Please note that I have downloaded the GIFT software and I'm trying to install it. I have extracted the files of the GIFT (0.1.9 version) but I'm encountering problems. Can you please provide me with clear instructions on how to install GIFT? P.S. I'm using the Kubuntu LINUX platform. Thanks in advance for your help.
