`make' is great if everything works -- you type `gmake install' and, lo, the right things get compiled and installed in the right places. Our goal is to make this happen often, but somehow it often doesn't; instead some wierd error message eventually emerges from the bowels of a directory you didn't know existed.
The purpose of this section is to give you a road-map to help you figure out what is going right and what is going wrong.
