<para>Install <application>Linux-<acronym>PAM</acronym></application> by
running the following commands:</para>

<para>If you downloaded the documentation and wish to install it, unpack the

<screen><userinput><command>tar -jxf ../Linux-PAM-0.78-docs.tar.bz2 -C doc</command></userinput></screen>
<para>Now, as the root user:</para>

<title>Command explanations</title>
<para><command>autoconf</command>: This is necessary because the patch
changes where <acronym>PAM</acronym> looks for the
<application>cracklib</application> libraries, requiring regeneration of the
configure script.</para>
<para><command>sed -i 's/(mandir)/(MANDIR)/g'
modules/Simple.Rules</command>: This command puts the module manpages
with the rest of the manpages in
<filename>/usr/share/man</filename>.</para>
<para><option>--enable-static-libpam</option>: This switch builds
static <acronym>PAM</acronym> libraries as well as the dynamic libraries.</para>
<para><parameter>--with-mailspool=/var/mail</parameter>: This switch makes
the mailspool directory <acronym>FHS</acronym> compliant.</para>
<para><option>--enable-read-both-confs</option>: This switch lets the local
administrator choose which configuration file setup to use.</para>
<para><command>mv -v /lib/libpam.a /lib/libpam_misc.a /lib/libpamc.a
/usr/lib</command>: This command moves the static libraries to
<filename>/usr/lib</filename> to comply with <acronym>FHS</acronym>
guidelines.</para>
<para><command>rm -v /lib/libpam{,c,_misc}.so; ln -v -sf ...
/usr/lib/...</command>: These commands move the
<filename class='symlink'>.so</filename> symlinks from
<filename class='directory'>/lib</filename> to
<filename class='directory'>/usr/lib</filename>.</para>
