How to install
Just run configure, make, make install in every package. Start with libggz. If you want a prefix different from /usr/local, specify this prefix with each package so GGZ is always found. For desktop integration, the prefix should equal the one of either KDE or GNOME.

If even this is too hard, the GGZ contrib directory provides a script which does the job interactively. It installs GGZ into the home directory (no root access required).
