Note that the HMP software has three install scripts:
One in the redistributable-runtime directory, which installs runtime components (no header 
files)
One in the sdk directory, which installs header files for application development
One at the top level which installs both runtime components as well as header files (run this 
one to be able to compile your application)
The name of the install script in each level is 
install.sh
