To build from subversion sources, do the following: ./svn-prepare.sh ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install You will need recent versions of GNU automake and autoconf in order to build from the SVN tree. The './svn-prepare.sh' script requires some shared code in the directory ../common (relative to the package root directory). The README.txt file in the distribution is auto-generated from perl ".pod" format by the "pod2text" included in most Perl distributions. marmosets, Bryan
