-Prior to attempting to build, please read the important notes below to see if

-``configure`` script, make, and install for the SpatiaLite library::
-
-    $ cd libspatialite-amalgamation-2.4.0-5
-    $ ./configure # May need to be modified, see notes below.

-Finally, do the same for the SpatiaLite tools::

-    $ cd spatialite-tools-2.4.0-5
-    $ ./configure # May need to be modified, see notes below.
-    $ make
-    $ sudo make install
-    $ cd ..

-.. note::
-
-    If you've installed GEOS and PROJ.4 from binary packages, you will have to specify
-    their paths when running the ``configure`` scripts for *both* the library and the
-    tools (the configure scripts look, by default, in ``/usr/local``).  For example,
-    on Debian/Ubuntu distributions that have GEOS and PROJ.4 packages, the command would be::
-
-       $ ./configure --with-proj-include=/usr/include --with-proj-lib=/usr/lib --with-geos-include=/usr/include --with-geos-lib=/usr/lib
