>From here, it's pretty straightforward.  You type
      <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make</B
>, followed by <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make
      install</B
>.  On most systems (including GNU/Linux), this
      should be followed by <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ldconfig</B
>.  If you're in
      a rush, you can sometimes skip <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make</B
>, since
      <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make install</B
> will usually make everything
      that hasn't been made yet.  If you want to start the whole
      process and forget about it, and are running the Bourne shell or
      its derivatives (eg. ksh or bash), put all four commands on one
      line, separated by <TT
CLASS="USERINPUT"
><B
>&#38;&#38;</B
></TT
>.  For
      example:</P

>The <TT
CLASS="USERINPUT"
><B

>Once you've done <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make install</B
> (and
      <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ldconfig</B

      the next package.</P
