<screen role="root"><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

      If you wish to test the results, first disable one test which fails:

<screen><userinput>sed \
  -e '/\tt1013-crlibm.*/d' \
  -i test/Makefile</userinput></screen>

      then issue <command>make check</command>. Tests must be run from an active

      failures.
