+ <p>This will build all of the LLVM tools and libraries. The <tt>--prefix</tt>
+ option defaults to /usr/local (per configure standards) but unless you are a
+ system administrator, you probably won't be able to install LLVM there because
+ of permissions. Specify a path into which LLVM can be installed (e.g.
+ <tt>--prefix=/home/user/llvm</tt>).</p>

<li><p>Add the directory containing the tools to your PATH.</p>
