Surprising. Most distros come with svgalib in CD#1 ( I Don't
know about PCQ). You need to get svgalib for your distro and
install it. There are only four files in  /usr/lib  dir with
names like libvga.a, libvgagl.a, libvga.so.x.x.x etc.  After
compilation the binary is almost 1 mb inclusive of  all docs
test and help files.

Just check up your distro, for a precompiled binary package.
Or get it from the distro URL. It will be  conforming to the
policies of your distro regarding locations of various files
and will pose no problems ...

Sub : Contents of bzipped tarball                    LOST #102

To search  the contents of a  .tar.bz2   without decompressing
try : tar -tjf file.tar.bz2 | grep "something"  (OR try bzcat)
Note : In some versions of tar '-j' is not recognised. You may
have to use -I switch there (viz. 'tar -tIf file.tar.bz2').
