To build and install the two pvmsync daemons, the libpvmsync
library (static and shared), and the header files for
the pvmsync `suite':

First, check the top of the Makefile and make sure everything is
to your liking and that your system will not complain.
Particularly, look at the INST_DIR macro and make sure this
location is OK to install to.  This is probably the only thing
you will have to touch in order to begin building....

make clean; make all

  ...followed by...

make install (as root)

  ...should work fine to build and install.  Otherwise, have a look
at the top of the Makefile again to see what may be causing problems.
Documentation on installation will be improved with the first stable
release (hopefully the next).

Also, you may want to run ldconfig for the directory the shared
library gets installed to, so the linker can find the correct files.

Please note that it is not necessary (and probably not a good idea)
to run the daemons as root.  It would probably be best to run the
daemons as user "nobody" or another (non-human) user created
specifically for this purpose.
