+Installing a binary GF distribution:
+
+1. Untar the distribution file:
+
+ $ gtar -zxf GF-2.8-[host].tar.gz
+
+2. Go to the created directory:
+
+ $ cd GF-2.8-[host]
+
+3. Run configure:
+
+ $ ./configure
+
+ If you don't want to install the files under /usr/local,
+ run configure with the right installation prefix. E.g.:
+
+ $ ./configure --prefix=/usr
+
+4. Install:
+
+ $ make install
+
+If the above procedure should fail (e.g. you don't have "make" available), you
+can do a manual install:
+
+ 1. Untar the package and go to the GF directory, as 1-2 above.
+
+ 2. The executable is the file "gf". You may want to move it somewhere
+ else, e.g. /usr/local/bin
+
+ 3. The libraries are in the subdirectory "lib/". It is recommended to
+ create an environment variable GF_LIB_PATH pointing to that directory.
+ In the bash shell, you do
+
+ $ export GF_LIB_PATH=[your gf directory]/lib
+
+
