</P><PRE

This script will run a number of tests to determine values for various
system dependent variables and detect any quirks of your
operating system, and finally will create several files in the
build tree to record what it found. You can also run
<TT

>configure</TT

tree, if you want to keep the build directory separate. This
procedure is also called a
<I

This means that you can run the programs in a debugger

having the symbols available is extremely helpful for dealing
