These instructions start line 16 of the INSTALL file, that is, in the first screen when viewing the file with a reasonable window size. I tend to disagree with the mainainer that the configure should be the "alternate" and plain make the recommanded way, but the configure script is there, it works, it's documented early enough in the INSTALL file, so what's the problem? -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
