2.3 Installing the library

As with any autoconfiguring GNU software, installation is as easy as this:

$ make install

The ‘make install’ command installs the library and the include files into public places (‘/usr/local/lib/’ and ‘/usr/local/include/’, if you haven’t specified a --prefix option to configure). This step may require superuser privileges.

If you have already built the library and wish to install it, but didn’t specify --prefix=… at configure time, just re-run configure, giving it the same options as the first time, plus the --prefix=… option.
