 and use all of plib's defaults.  Then run "make" followed by "make

+As of this writing (2007-11-18), many linux distributions are shipped with a 
+working version of plib, so chances are that this library is already 
+installed. It should be noted, that currently plib version no longer compiles
+using recent versions of gcc (confirmed on version gcc 4.1.2, as shipped with 
+SuSe 10.2). As a workaround, it is possible to either use plib SVN. Run the 
+following commands:

+svn co https://plib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/plib/trunk plib
+cd plib
+./autogen.sh
+./configure
+make
