    <para><command>sed -i -e ... unix/Makefile</command>: The

    This command fixes the problem.</para>

    <para><command>make prefix=/usr -f unix/Makefile generic_gcc</command>: This
    command overrides the <varname>prefix</varname> variable that is set to
    <filename class='directory'>/usr/local</filename> in the
    <filename>unix/Makefile</filename> which is used as a
    <filename>Makefile</filename> and builds the executables for a Linux system. The
