-Make sure you have a C and C++ compiler available. gcc and g++ work fine.

Before compilation can take place YAZ must be installed. It goes, roughly,
like this:
$ ^D
$ cd ..
+The YAZ proxy uses a configuration file in XML and libxml2 and libxslt
+is required in order for the config facility to work. Many systems already
+have libxml2/libxslt installed. In that, case remember to get the devel
+version of that as well (not just the runtime). Libxml2/libxslt can also be
+compiled easily on most systems. See http://www.xmlsoft.org/ for more
+information.
+
Then, build YAZ++:
$ cd yaz++-<version>
$ ./configure
$ make
+If you do have libxslt installed and configure above does not find it,
+use option --with-xslt=PREFIX to specify location of libxslt and libxml2.
+yaz++ configure looks for PREFIX/bin/xslt-config.
