Just as all modern GNU stuff:
tar ztvf PACKAGE.tar.gz
cd PACKAGE
./configure
make
So far as ordinary user, but this part as root:
make install
---------------
This kind of answer does not justify my _public_ answer.
The reason why I do it nevertheless:
A colleague of mine installed this package also on a Solaris 2.5 box,
and the `make install' created /usr/local/{bin,lib}
only _after_ copying something `below' those directories.
But because `below' does not work,
/usr/local/{bin,lib} are created as ordinary files instead.
That must be repaired.
Normally this bug does not have any effect,
because `everybody' already has those directories,
but apparently some don't ...
So for the time being:
mkdir /usr/local/{bin,lib}
before `make install' as root.
