<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/tools</userinput></screen>

<para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

<para>As discussed earlier, we don't recommend running the test suites for the

suite anyway, the following command will do so:</para>

<screen><userinput>make check</userinput></screen>

<para>And install it:</para>

<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
