  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package and type tar -xvzf "packagename"

  2. `cd' to the new directory containing the source code.

  3. If you don't want to install GTKtalog in /usr/local/ ,edit the Makefile and change PREFIX to the folder you want to install it. If you change PREFIX don't forget to change icons path in the file buttonbar.conf to display pixmaps in buttons.

  4. Type `make' to compile the package. (it works on Redhat 5.2 and 6.0)
