-In order to build the libraries you need a compiler on your system.
-Unfortunately compilers are not all alike. This has an effect on the CFLAGS
-you want to set. The examples below are for the popular GCC compiler suite.
-If you have an other compilers here are some ides:

- CFLAGS="-xO3 -kPIC"

+=head2 Build Instructions
Some libraries want to know where other libraries are. For this to work,
set the following environment variable
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${INSTALL_DIR}/lib/pkgconfig
export PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/bin:$PATH
