After unpacking the source tarball (or downloading from CVS and running
the "make -f Makefile.cvs ...." command), change to the rekall
directory and configure the build by running the command:
./configure --prefix=PREFIX
PREFIX is the installation prefix for your system. Typical examples
are as below. You must get this right! If you omit the --prefix option
then Rekall will install into /usr/local/kde, which is almost certainly
not what you want.
RedHat /usr
Mandrake /usr
SuSE /opt/kde3
SlakWare /opt/kde
At the end of this stage, the configure script should list the database
drivers and whether or not they will be build. If they are not what you
expect, then the most likely explanation is not having the appropriate
development packages installed.
