## Installation of libxslt

Install libxslt by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr                          \
                --disable-static                       \
                --docdir=/usr/share/doc/libxslt-1.1.42 &&
    make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install
