To build from subversion sources, do the following: ./svn-prepare.sh ./configure make make install The './svn-prepare.sh' script requires some shared code in the directory ../common (relative to the package root directory). If you make changes to any autotools files (e.g. Makefile.am, configure.ac), you will need to re-run automake, autoconf, etc. This can be accomplished by running the wrapper script ./autogen.sh. The README.txt file in the distribution is auto-generated from perl ".pod" format by the "pod2text" included in most Perl distributions. marmosets, Bryan
