Before compilation can take place YAZ must be installed. It goes, roughly,
like this:
$ ^D
$ cd ..
+The YAZ proxy uses a configuration file in XML and libxml2 is required
+in order for the config facility to work. Many systems already have
+libxml2 installed. In that, case remember to get the devel version
+of that as well (not just the runtime). Libxml2 can also be compiled
+easily on most systems. See http://www.xmlsoft.org/ for more
+information.
+
Then, build YAZ++:
$ cd yaz++-<version>
$ ./configure
$ make
+If you do have libxml2 installed and configure above does not find it,
+use option --with-xml2=PREFIX to specify its location. yaz++ configure
+looks for PREFIX/bin/xml2-config.
