-First, read the README. This contains instructions specific to building conky 
-fresh from a CVS checkout: 
-
-* As the README says, you need to have the X	development libraries installed. 
-	This should be a package along the lines of libx11-dev or xorg-x11-dev .
-* Conky requires three "auto-tools", with at least the specific version numbers.
-	Make sure these are installed:
-	
-	aclocal-1.9
-	automake-1.9
-	autoconf-2.59
-
-* In the directory where you checked out conky from CVS, 
-	run "aclocal", "automake", and then "autoconf". 
-	Make sure you run those commands with the latest versions...
-	it is very possible that older versions are installed, and 
-	plain "automake" really means automake-1.4, not what we want,
-	but "automake-1.9" instead.
-	Use the "--version" option to check the program version, i.e.
-	"autoconf --version". 
-* After that, it's the familiar 
-
-	./configure 
-	make 
-	make install
-
-	You might have to do the last two steps as root.
