Installation of Gnumeric

Install Gnumeric by running the following commands:

sed -e "s@zz-application/zz-winassoc-xls;@@" -i gnumeric.desktop.in &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

This package requires that it is installed before the test suite is run.

Now, as the root user:

make install

If you wish to test the results, issue make check. With env LC_ALL=C make check, some tests may fail.
