of these packages can sometimes be used, but could cause build problems.

To check the version number of the tools installed on your system,

Building software
=================

This application is portable to a great number of systems. Building
requires the following steps:

  step 1. Run configure to adjust to target platform
  step 2. Run make


Running configure
-----------------
The configure program will examine your system for various compiler
flags, system options etc. In some case extra flags need to be added
for the C compler to work properly.

For a full list of options, please run:

    ./configure --help


The most important argument is:

  --with-jdk=DIR          use the Sun JDK 1.3.x, 1.4.x, 1.5.x or 1.6.x at the
                          specified location


A typical configure command looks something line:

    ./configure --with-jdk=/usr/local/jdk1.4

The configure script will perform a large number of checks to find all
the header files, libraries and programs the build process needs.
