    <title>Installation of gtk+-2</title>

    <para>Install <application>gtk+-2</application> by running
    the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i -e '/db2html/i@HAVE_DOCBOOK_TRUE@\t   mkdir gtk-tut; '          \
       -e '/gtk-tut html/i@HAVE_DOCBOOK_TRUE@\t   mv *.html gtk-tut; ' \
    docs/tutorial/Makefile.in                                         &amp;&amp;

sed -i -e '/db2html/i@HAVE_DOCBOOK_TRUE@\t   mkdir gtk-faq; '          \
       -e '/gtk-faq html/i@HAVE_DOCBOOK_TRUE@\t   mv *.html gtk-faq;'  \
    docs/faq/Makefile.in                                              &amp;&amp;

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

    <para>To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>. Note that
    you must run the tests from a session with X Window Display capability
    (i.e., not a text-based terminal/console) as the tests attempt to open an X
    window, and the tests can take an excessively long time. Using an X Window,
    the tests should take less than .3 SBUs</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install                                                    &amp;&amp;

    <warning>

      <para>If you installed the package on to your system using a
      <quote>DESTDIR</quote> method two important files were not installed and
      must be copied and/or generated. Generate them using the following
      commands as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
      user:</para>

    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><command>sed -i '/db2html/i@HAVE_DOCBOOK...</command>: If you have
    <xref linkend="docbook-utils"/> installed (specifically, if configure finds
    db2html) then it will try to use it to rebuild some of it's html
    documentation and fail due to bugs in some of the Makefiles. These seds fix
    the Makefiles.</para>

    <para><command>sed -i...gtk/gtkiconview.c</command>: This fixes a bug in
    gtk+-2.24.8 that makes some applications (eg, lxappearance) crash.</para>

    <para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc</parameter>: This switch installs the
    configuration files into <filename class="directory">/etc</filename>
    instead of <filename class="directory">/usr/etc</filename>.</para>

    <para><command>sed -i 's/#man_MANS...</command> and
    <command>make -C docs...install-man</command> these commands install the
    man pages for gtk-builder-convert, gtk-query-immodules-2.0 and
    gtk-update-icon-cache.</para>

    <para><option>--enable-gtk-doc</option>: This switch will rebuild
    the API documentation during the <command>make</command> command. Ensure
    you really want to rebuild this documentation (and end up with what is
    already shipped in the source tree) as it takes a very long time.</para>

      <para>Gtk themes change the way a gtk application looks. A Gtk icon theme
       can be used to change the icons that appear on the application's
       toolbar. If you have installed a Gtk theme or a Gtk icon theme (such as
       <xref linkend="gnome-icon-theme"/>) you can set your prefences in
       <filename>~/.gtkrc-2.0</filename>:</para>
