Installation of libgpg-error

Install libgpg-error by running the following commands: 

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

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&
install -v -m644 -D README /usr/share/doc/libgpg-error-1.13/README

The shared library needs to be moved to /lib, and as a result the .so file in /usr/lib will need to be recreated. Run the following command as the root user: 

mv -v /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so.* /lib
ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so) /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so

Command Explanations

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
