How to build/install

KFreeDB includes autoconf/automake stuff, so it should only be necessary to run the usual:

 ./configure
 make
 make install

On machines where KDEDIRS is not set correctly you may have to either set it to your actual KDE directories or run ./configure --prefix=/path/to/kde/base
