# few different places to get it
#
# The home site in Russia:
# http://ftp.yars.free.net/pub/source/lftp/
# Atlanta, Georgia, USA (usually outdated):
# ftp://ftp.130th.net/pub/mirror/lftp/
# The UK mirror is password protected as I write this...
# ftp://ftp.130th.net/pub/mirror/lftp/
# Ibiblio (USA):
# http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/file-transfer/
# http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/Incoming/ (if it was just released)

# If you have an old version of lftp installed under the /usr/local prefix,
# follow the uninstall instructions at the bottom before you begin below

# Prerequisites:
# bison
# iconv
# gettext
# ncurses
# readline
# GnuTLS or OpenSSL
# expat

# pass this to configure: --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl  If GnuTLS is
# installed somewhere where configure can't find it, specify it's prefix
# with --with-libgnutls-prefix=/the/prefix/its/installed/under

# If you ever need to uninstall lftp, this should do it.
#
# I tried running 'make uninstall' in the source directory with version 3.2.1,
# but that got stuck in a loop and ate up every available file handle bringing
# the load average up to a few hundred, so I ctrl-C'd it :-)  Needless to say,
# either run 'make -n uninstall' first to see what would happen, or just don't
# do it at all.
