How To Compile Libraries From Source Code. *** All libraries/programs must be compiled in order. ***
-- assuming installation directories will be in /usr/local/ , the default setting.
-- Follow the instructions below for EACH seperate
*.bz2 or *.gz or *.tar or *.tgz file that you downloaded into your 'dnld_src' directory (as per previous post -- see above, "download instructions").
===============================
STEP-1:
===============================
pkgconfig-0.17.2 (compile/make time: [hh:mm] 00:02)
-- Decompress file in 'dnld_src' directory
Code:
tar xfvj pkgconfig-0.17.2.tar.bz2
-- Compile in directory 'pkgconfig-0.17.2' .
Code:
cd pkgconfig-0.17.2/
./configure
Note: you may have to use 'gmake' instead of 'make' to compile things. 
Code:
make
su <prompt for password>
make install (as 'su' or 'root')
exit
The dir under 'dnld_src' where this was compiled may be deleted to save room:
Code:
cd ../../
rm -dfr pkgconfig-0.17.2
===================================
STEP-2:
===================================
automake-1.9 (compile/install time: [hh:mm] 00:02)
[/i]
-- Decompress file into 'dnld_src' directory
Code:
tar xfvj automake-1.9.tar.bz2
-- Set
Environment Variables
-- Here's how they work:
Code:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<path_to_pkgconfig>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path_to_libraries>
export LDFLAGS="-L<path_to_specific_library> -L<path_to_another_one>"
export CPPFLAGS="-I<path_to_header_file> -I<path_to_another_one>"
(note: To compile the following libraries, you should copy/paste/type the following Environmental Variables at the command prompt. These variables work -- don't mess with them.)
Code:
env -
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
-- Compile in directory 'automake-1.9' :
Code:
cd automake-1.9/
./configure
make
su <prompt for password>

-- Compile in directory 'autoconf-2.59' :
Code:

-- It takes a 'hack' to Compile this *****. First, use the 'su' command to change to 'SuperUser' then, copy/paste the following commands into your shell at the prompt:
Code:

echo "copying configure.in"
ln -s makefiles/configure.in .

Hit the enter key.
Then, run './configure'

Do not delete the directory where Perl was compiled for two reasons:
-- it may be needed when compiling Gimp if you get an XPM::Parser error when running './configure'
-- IIRC, I don't think Perl will run properly if you remove it's directory.

-- Manually remove any existing Foomatic option files. If you do not do this, any PPD files generated by Gutenprint (to be installed later) will be garbage.
Code:
rm -f /usr/local/share/foomatic/db/source/opt/gutenprint*.xml
rm -f /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/opt/gutenprint*.xml
rm -f /usr/local/share/foomatic/db/source/opt/gimp-print*

-- To save room, you can delete the installation directories (this is true for all the dir's that you created under the 'dnld_src' directory EXCEPT 'qt' and (later) 'mozilla') :
-- make sure you do not inadvertently delete your tarballs or you'll have to download them again if they need to be reinstalled for any reason.
Code:

cd ../../
rm -dfr foomatic
