<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr    \
            --enable-vala    \
            --disable-static &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>. Over 100 tests
      fail as a result of problems with the test suite. These test failures
      are primarily related to svg1.1, and are comparison problems due to 
      using a later version of Pango than what the developers created the
      initial SVG files with.
