    <para>Compilation is now complete. As discussed earlier, running the test
    suite is not mandatory for the temporary tools here in this chapter. To run
    the Check test suite anyway, issue the following command:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="test">make check</userinput></screen>

    <para>Note that the Check test suite may take a relatively long
    (up to 4 SBU) time.</para>

    <para>Install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>
