1.6 Building and Installation

The distribution of this package will probably be done as a compressed "tar"-format file available via anonymous FTP from SIPB.MIT.EDU. Retrieve `pub/com_err.tar.Z' and extract the contents. A subdirectory profiled should be created to hold objects compiled for profiling. Running "make all" should then be sufficient to build the library and error-table compiler. The files `libcom_err.a', `libcom_err_p.a', `com_err.h', and `compile_et' should be installed for use; `com_err.3' and `compile_et.1' can also be installed as manual pages.
