Just as all modern GNU stuff:

        tar ztvf PACKAGE.tar.gz
        cd PACKAGE
        ./configure
        make

So far as ordinary user, but this part as root:

        make install

---------------

This kind of answer does not justify my _public_ answer.

The reason why I do it nevertheless:

A colleague of mine installed this package also on a Solaris 2.5 box,
and the `make install' created /usr/local/{bin,lib}
only _after_ copying something `below' those directories.
But because `below' does not work,
/usr/local/{bin,lib} are created as ordinary files instead.

That must be repaired.

Normally this bug does not have any effect,
because `everybody' already has those directories,
but apparently some don't ...

So for the time being:

        mkdir /usr/local/{bin,lib}

before `make install' as root.
