  <sect2 role="installation">
    <title>Installation of Gnumeric</title>

    <para>Install <application>Gnumeric</application> by running the following
    commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --localstatedir=/var/lib \
            --sysconfdir=&gnome-etc-dir; &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

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

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

    <para>There is a bug in the program. The help system looks for the docs in
    one location, but they are actually installed in the wrong place. See
    <ulink url="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330339"/>. If you have
    <xref linkend="yelp"/> installed and would like to be able to use it to view
    the help documentation from within <application>Gnumeric</application>, work
    around the problem by creating a symbolic link. As
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:</para>

<screen role='root'><userinput>ln -vsf $(pkg-config --variable=prefix \
    ORBit-2.0)/share/gnome/help/gnumeric \
    /usr/share/gnumeric/&gnumeric-version;/doc</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you have GNOME installed in a prefix other than /usr, as the
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user create the
    following symlink for the <application>Gnumeric</application>
    <application>Bonobo</application> server file:</para>

<screen role='root'><userinput>ln -v -s /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Gnumeric.server \
    $(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/bonobo/servers</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you have <xref linkend="gnome-doc-utils"/> installed you can
    convert the XML help files into HTML by issuing the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure \
    --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix gnome-doc-utils) &amp;&amp;
make -C doc html</userinput></screen>

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

<screen role='root'><userinput>install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnumeric-&gnumeric-version;/figures &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 doc/C/html/* /usr/share/doc/gnumeric-&gnumeric-version; &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 doc/C/figures/* \
    /usr/share/doc/gnumeric-&gnumeric-version;/figures &amp;&amp;
ln -v -s /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-&docbook-xsl-version;/images \
    /usr/share/doc/gnumeric-&gnumeric-version;/stylesheet</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you wish to install the Developer documentation, issue the
    following commands as the
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role='root'><userinput>install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnumeric-&gnumeric-version;/developer &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 doc/developer/* \
    /usr/share/doc/gnumeric-&gnumeric-version;/developer &amp;&amp;
