Palo should have been run as part of the Debian install process and you
should have an /etc/palo.conf.  If you are installing by hand you have more
work to do...

The Debian package for palo is on the CD and in the Debian mirror system.

Please use the Debian package.  You can install the Debian package from
the CD with 'dpkg --install palo_<version>.deb'.

If you want help compiling palo please send the output from 'make'.
