See './configure --help'. + $ make + # make install + +If you did not specify a prefix, the exchange will install to +``/usr/local``, which requires you to run the last step as ``root``. + +You have to specify ``--with-exchange=/usr/local`` and/or +``--with-gnunet=/usr/local`` if you installed the exchange and/or +GNUnet to ``/usr/local`` in the previous steps. + +Depending on the prefixes you specified for the installation and the +distribution you are using, you may have to edit ``/etc/ld.so.conf``, adding +lines for ``GNUNETPFX/lib/`` and ``EXCHANGEPFX/lib/`` and ``PFX/lib/`` +(replace the prefixes with the actual paths you used). Afterwards, you should +run ``ldconfig``. Without this step, it is possible that the linker may not +find the installed libraries and launching the Taler merchant backend would +then fail. |
