    <para>First, make a fix identified upstream:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -i '273{ h; d; }; 274,286 { H; d; }; 287 G' src/mpc.h</userinput></screen>

    <note> 
       <para>This sed is a little complex and needs some explanation.  It holds
       the line 273 in a buffer, adds lines 274-286 to it. It then writes the
       buffer out after line 287 is read. The result is that the line 287 is
       moved upwards from an incorrect location to its correct location in an
       #ifdef block.</para>

    <para>Prepare MPC for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="configure">./configure --prefix=/usr    \
            --disable-static \

    <para>Compile the package and generate the HTML documentation:</para>

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

    <para>To test the results, issue:</para>

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

    <para>Install the package and its documentation:</para>

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