The instructions in INSTALL.Linux should describe how to do it. If
you grabbed this from git, then you'll need to run "./boot.sh" as a
sort of step 0. Please make sure that your Autoconf, Automake, and
pkg-config meet the minimum version requirements listed. If you're
still having problems, please send information about your Linux
distribution and how you installed those programs.
Good luck!
