+Configure with './configure'. './configure --help' will give the
+configuration options. If the configure script does not exist
+(if you checked comedilib out from cvs for example), it can
+be generated by running './autogen.sh'. The autoconf, automake,
+autoheader, etc. tools are required to generate the configure
+script (automake version 1.6 recommended).

Compile using 'make'. If this doesn't work, make sure you have the
basic tools installed to compile. If you can successfully compile
other things, consult the author, as he has probably made a mistake.
