Here is my suggestion for step four: 4. Type: make, which will show what the required environment variables (PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and PKG_CONFIG_PATH) must be set to. Set those variables. My problem was that I was expecting 'make' to build all the packages and then tell me what variables I needed to set to install and run the packages. I did not understand that 'make' was only going to list the environment variables that needed to be set. Regards, Daniel
