    <title>Installation of libgcrypt</title>

    <para>
      Install <application>libgcrypt</application> by running the
      following commands:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make                      &amp;&amp;

    <para>
      The above commands build the documentation in html and plaintext
      formats. If you wish to build alternate formats of the documentation, you
      need <xref linkend="texlive"/> (or <xref linkend="tl-installer"/>). Issue
      the following command:
    </para>

<screen remap="doc"><userinput>make -C doc pdf ps</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>.
