    <note>
      <para>If you are installing a version of
      <application>Poppler</application> &gt;= 5.1 to support an installation
      of <xref linkend="evince"/>, note that command-line utilities and man
      pages are installed which will overwrite these same files installed by
      the <application>Xpdf</application> package. If you'd prefer to keep the
      <application>Xpdf</application> versions of these files, use the
      <option>--bindir=</option> and <option>--mandir=</option> parameters
      passed to the <command>configure</command> script to install these files
      to a safe location (e.g., <envar>$HOME</envar> or
      <filename class='directory'>/tmp</filename>. An alternative method to
      not overwrite the command-line utilities is to use the
      <option>--disable-utils</option> parameter.</para>
    </note>

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

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --enable-opi \
            --enable-zlib \

    <para><parameter>--enable-opi</parameter>: This parameter forces the build
    to include support for OPI comments.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-zlib</parameter>: This parameter forces the build
    to link with the system-installed
    <filename class='libraryfile'>libz</filename> library to enable compressed
    PDF functionality.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-splash-output</parameter>: This parameter
    disables building the Splash graphics backend. Remove this parameter if
    you have <application>Fontconfig</application> installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-cairo-output</parameter>: This parameter
    disables building the <application>cairo</application> graphics backend.
    Remove this parameter if you have <application>cairo</application>
    installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-poppler-glib</parameter> and
    <parameter>--disable-gtk-test</parameter>: These parameters disable
    building the <application>GLib</application> wrapper and
    <application>GTK+</application> test program. Remove these parameters if
    you have <application>GTK+</application>-2 installed. Note that if you
    plan on building <xref linkend="evince"/>, you must build the
    <application>GLib</application> wrapper.</para>
