Thanks I didn't see that. I installed glossaries.sty and several other
sty files in my document root, and a couple additional dependancies,
easy.

However the following yields no error and no glossary!

%preamble
\usepackage[xindy,toc]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newcommand{\gloss}{\newglossaryentry}

%document body
\gloss{IPAM}{description={{\em Internet Protocol Address Management}}}
\gloss{RA}{description={The next generation, future-state {\em
Reference Architecture}}}
\printglossaries

In my rendering process I execute pdflatex 3 times. here is the only
glossary mention in the third run:

...am I missing something simple?
