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

    <para>To test the results, issue: <command>src/test_libpaps &gt;

    and visually compare it to <filename>doc/example-output.png</filename>.
    The results of the output will be more robust with DejaVu, Arphic, and
    Kochi fonts installed as explained in the <xref
