This should be pretty simple.

# type after me:
./configure 		# --optional-switches
make 			# (and) watch for errors
make install		# (and) watch for errors again


	This will compile, and dump the logtool binary in /usr/bin/logtool.  
It will dump the config files in /etc/logtool (you'll probably want to season
those to suit, but they should be vaguely tolerable by default).

	For further information, please check out the documentation (in the
./doc subdirectory), and/or experiment until you get the hang of it.  

	Good luck, and God bless.
