Installation of Vte

Install Vte by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib/vte \
            --disable-static  &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--libexecdir=/usr/lib/vte : both this package and VTE-0.72.1 install files of the same name. This switch ensures that they do not overwrite each other if both are installed.

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