Decide where you would like to install the tools. It should be in a + local directory so that you do not need root privileges. (Suggest + $HOME/qpid-tools.) Create an empty directory. +2. Modify your environment variable PATH to ensure that the bin directory + within this directory comes first in the PATH string: + PATH=$HOME/qpid-tools/bin:$PATH +3. Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/qpid-tools/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig + (or if it already exists, make sure that the above path to your + qpid-tools directory is first). +4. Run the install utility from the cpp directory: + ./qpid-autotools-install --prefix=$HOME/qpid-tools --skip-check + (Note that --prefix will only accept an absolute path, so don't use + ~/qpid-tools.)

Perform a check: from the command-line run "which automake" and + ensure that it finds the automake in your qpid-tools directory.
