Installation of libgtkhtml

Install libgtkhtml by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-accessibility &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite. You can run a test program which includes many test cases; if desired, issue: ( cd tests; ./testgtkhtml )

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--disable-accessibility: This forces the package to build without linking to the libgailutil accessibility library. Remove this switch if you have GAIL installed.
