The recommended installation procedure:
0) create a directory for object files $(OBJDIR) 
1) cd $(OBJDIR)
1) $(SRCDIR)/configure
   Most often you will need to specify command-line options to configure.
   To obtain a list of configure options run 'configure --help'.
2) make
3) make install

If you are compiling from sources obtained via CVS then prior to step 0 you need to
run the following 2 commands:
aclocal -I lib/autoconf
autoconf
