## Installation of Vte

Install Vte by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr \
                --libexecdir=/usr/lib/vte \
                --disable-static  &&
    make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`--libexecdir=/usr/lib/vte` : both this package and VTE-0.56.3 install files of the same name. This switch ensures that they do not overwrite each other if both are installed.

`--disable-static`: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

Installed Library: libvte.so
Installed Directories: /usr/include/vte-0.0, /usr/lib/vte, /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/vte-0.0 and /usr/share/vte
