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

    <note>
      <para>The <command>configure</command> command below uses the default
      location, <filename class='directory'>$KDE_PREFIX/etc</filename> for
      <application>KDE</application> configuration files. If you want your
      system to be compliant with the <ulink
      url='http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#ETCHOSTSPECIFICSYSTEMCONFIGURATION'>Filesystem
      Hierarchy Standard</ulink>, add the parameter
      <parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc/kde</parameter> to the
      <command>configure</command> command.</para>
     </note>

    <note>
      <para>If you wish to create the API documentation and you have
      <application>Doxygen</application> and <application>GraphViz</application>
      installed, <command>make apidox</command> must be done before
      <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.gnome.ru/fonts/urw/release/">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'>$KDE_PREFIX/share/doc/HTML/en/kdelibs-apidocs</filename>.
