1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also

produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
