    <title>Installation of libgcrypt</title>

    <para>
      Install <application>libgcrypt</application> by running the
      following commands:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Only <command>info</command> documentation is shipped in the package
      tarball. If you wish to build alternate formats of the documentation,
      (you must have <xref linkend="texlive"/> installed to build the PDF
      and PostScript documentation), then issue the following commands:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>make -C doc pdf ps html &amp;&amp;
makeinfo --html --no-split -o doc/gcrypt_nochunks.html doc/gcrypt.texi &amp;&amp;
makeinfo --plaintext       -o doc/gcrypt.txt           doc/gcrypt.texi</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>.
    </para>

    <para>
      Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;

    <para>
      The shared library needs to be moved to
      <filename class="directory">/lib</filename>, and as a result the
      <filename class="extension">.so</filename> file in
      <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> will need to be
      recreated. Run the following command as the
      <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
    </para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">mv -v /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.* /lib
ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so) /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      If you built the additional documentation, install it by issuing the
      following commands as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
      user:
    </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -dm755   /usr/share/doc/libgcrypt-&libgcrypt-version;/html &amp;&amp;
