Friendly install

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

This question comes up often enough that I think it would be worth
having a simple example of a native install:

  download gcc
  unpack it into source-directory
  mkdir build-directory
  mkdir install-directory
  cd build-directory
  /foo/bar/source-directory/configure --prefix=/foo/bar/install-directory
  make
  make install
  add install-directory to your $PATH

Think "cookbook", not "reference manual".

I volunteer to write this, if someone will point me to the place where
it will go, and tells me what markup language to write it in.
