4<para>Warning: do NOT run <userinput>make uninstall</userinput> on this
5package if you apply the <emphasis>sed</emphasis> fix to change the
6<filename class="directory">libexec</filename> directory definition. The
7<emphasis>uninstall</emphasis> rule in the <filename>Makefile</filename>
8file runs a command like <userinput>rm -rf
9&lt;libexecdir&gt;/*</userinput> Since we change the <filename
10class="directory">libexec</filename> directory to <filename
11class="directory">/usr/bin</filename> it'll run <userinput>rm -rf

14<para>When installing Gawk using glibc-2.1.x on your base system,
15it may be necessary to use a fix to prevent a variable name conflict. The
16following commands can be used in this case. Note that these commands
17can also be used for other glibc versions so if you aren't sure, then
18use the first version.</para>
