      What's wrong with:
      more README
      more INSTALL
      more INSTALL-LINUX
      more INSTALL-LINUX-FEDORA
      ./configure
      <crap>
      ./configure DIR=/usr/local
      make
      <crap>
      yum install Xaw3d-devel
      make
      make test
      make install
      <crap>
      su -
      make install
      <crap>
      cd ~Intron/Newapp-3.01.02.11/src
      make install
      exit

    ./configure && make && make install
