All of these are pretty standard for all major linux distributions. When you're sure you have those things installed, just type:
./configure make make install
This will cause liblaxkit.a and liblaxinterfaces.a to be put in /usr/local/lib by default. You can change where the Laxkit is installed by typing './configure --prefix=/your/new/path', rather than just the plain './configure'. What files were installed is put into the file install.log.
liblaxkit is the main core of the kit, consisting of buttons, text edits, and the like. liblaxinterfaces is for lots of user interfaces to various artsy sorts of objects, like curvy lines and bezier color patch gradients.
This library currently is being developed on a Debian "unstable" Linux machine. It works on my machine as they say (and also on my debian sarge machine). I only have a Linux machine and very little experience with other platforms, and I would very much like to hear of success/failure/accusations/insults/patches from attempts to compile on other platforms.
