    <para>The <application>Trinity/KDE3</application> libraries access other programs at

    <ulink url="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/pmount/">

    /media/[device_name] for any user without any fstab modification. It is

    <para>Install <application>kdelibs</application> with:</para>

<screen><userinput>MAKEDIR=/tmp/buildlibs &amp;&amp;
KDELIBS=`pwd`          &amp;&amp;
rm -rf   $MAKEDIR      &amp;&amp;

unset KDELIBS MAKEDIR</userinput></screen>

    <para>Some of the optional support programs for <application>kdelibs</application>
    must be specified by the user.  The option is in the form "-DWITH_PKG=ON" and
    the following options are recognozed for 'PKG': TIFF, LIBIDN, LIBART,
    OPENEXR, UTEMPTER, ASPELL, HSPELL, and AVAHI. Other optional support
    programs such as CUPS are automatically recognized if present.</para>

    <para>If your installation of <application>Xorg</application> is
    not in the <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy,
    ensure the linking commands search in the correct place:</para>

<screen><userinput>find -name link.txt -exec sed -i -e "s@-lX11@&amp; -L$XORG_PREFIX/lib@" {} \;</userinput></screen>

    <para>Continue with the build:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

    <note>
      <para>If you wish to create the API documentation and you have
      <application>Doxygen</application> and
      <application>Graphviz</application> installed, it must be done before the
      <command>make install</command>. This applies to all packages which can
      utilize <application>Doxygen</application>.</para>

      <para>The <command>make apidox</command> command generates a lot of
      errors and warnings.  In some cases it complains that Helvetica fonts are
      missing and substitutes a font that does not fit boxes properly.  You can
      add the font by downloading the <ulink
      url="ftp://ftp.tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/nonfree/support/ghostscript/AFPL/GhostPCL/">
      URW Fonts </ulink> and
      unpacking them into <filename class='directory'>~/.fonts</filename>.
      <command>fc-cache</command> should also be run to update the font
      properties on your system.</para>

      <para>The documents generated are HTML and are found in <filename
      class='directory'>$TRINITY_PREFIX/share/doc/HTML/en/kdelibs-apidocs</filename>.

    <para><command>sed -i ... kio/kio/kdirwatch.cpp</command>: This command is
    necessary to prevent a conflict in linux headers.  The equivalent
    instructions that are deleted are now within glibc.</para>

    <para><parameter>- -prefix=&kde-dir;</parameter>: This option tells the process
    to install the package in <filename class="directory">&kde-dir;</filename>.</para>

    <para><parameter>- -disable-debug</parameter>: This option causes the
    package to be compiled without debugging code.</para>

    <para><parameter>- -disable-dependency-tracking</parameter>: This option
    speeds up one time builds.</para>

    <para><parameter>- -sysconfdir=/etc/kde</parameter>: This option places
    configuration files in compliance with the <ulink
    url='http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#ETCHOSTSPECIFICSYSTEMCONFIGURATION'
    >Filesystem Hierarchy Standard</ulink>.  If you omit this parameter, the
