Install ncurses > 5.0 Install libxml2 ./configure make (root) make install The configure does not use autotools. If compiling fails on a platform the script already knows, please let me know. If you have an unknown platform and you can get it to compile, please send me your 'uname' output and the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS you needed. For opml2snow to work you also need the Perl module XML::LibXML installed. As root start "perl -MCPAN -e shell" and type "install XML::LibXML". That should be the most convenient way to install it.
