I've only tested this program on Linux, a few versions of Solaris of
varying vintge, and Windows.  However, it should be pretty portable.

If you are running Windows and using VC++ 5.0 or later, untar the
distribution and run "make".  Note that wildcards aren't supported on
the command line in this environment.  

For all other platforms, including Windows w/ CygWin, follow the
following directions:

1) On a Unix system,    type: ./configure
   On a Windows system, type: bash ./configure
   There are some options you can set from the command line that
   will affect the installation, including:
       --prefix=PATH           Set base directory for installation to directory
                               specified by PATH.  Default is '/usr/local'.
       --with-cpp=PATH         Use the C++ compiler located at PATH.
                               Default is to try g++ then CC.
       --help                  A list of all options that can be set.

2) Follow the directions given when ./configure finishes.
   Generally, this consists of two things:
     a) Running 'make'
     b) Running 'make install'
   
   When running 'make install', make sure you log in as a user with
   enough privileges to write to the place you chose in step 1.  If 
   you're installing to a system directory (such as the default,
   /usr/local), then you'll probably need to become root.

That should be it.  However, you may have:

I don't know of any at the time of this writing.  However, please let
