If you have a program named gunzip installed, do you also have gsed installed?
When you download software and it includes a file named README, I think it should be obvious that you should start by reading that file. Then, at a minimum, read the files INSTALL, Makefile.am and Makefile.in, ABOUT-NLS, BUGS, and NEWS. Assuming that sed and testsuite are directories, I would also look at the files in them. If you're curious (or paranoid), look at all of the files you downloaded!
Then, if the instructions on what to do to install GNU sed as /usr/local/bin/sed weren't clear, show us the instructions you didn't understand.

Hi!
All the basic linux commands, ie. echo, find, etc, are located in /bin. I have a couple of programs that have these commands pointed towards /usr/bin, ie, /usr/bin/echo (even though the actual 'echo' command is in /bin). How can I alias or redirect or link the /usr/bin to /bin just for this... (6 Replies)

math::install
INSTALL(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation INSTALL(3pm)
NAME
INSTALL Installation instructions for Math::SparseMatrix
DEPENDENCIES
This module requires these other modules and libraries:
Math::SparseVector
SYNOPSIS
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
The exact location of where Math::SparseMatrix will be installed depends on your system configuration.
If you do not have authority to write into system directories, you can install Math::SparseMatrix in a local directory that you own and
have permissions to read and write into as follows:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/YOUR/DIR
make
make test
make install
This will install the module into
/YOUR/DIR/lib/perl5/site_perl/Math/SparseMatrix.pm
If you install Math::SparseMatrix in a local directory, you will have to explicitly set your PERL5LIB environment variable to include:
/YOUR/DIR/lib/perl5/site_perl
if this directory was not already included.
