## Installation of dvisvgm

The test suite assumes that a modern version of Python has been installed as plain python. Changing this to use python3 requires a sed to one `Makefile.in` file.

Install dvisvgm by running the following commands:

    TEXARCH=$(uname -m | sed -e 's/i.86/i386/' -e 's/$/-linux/') &&

    sed -i 's/python/&3/' tests/Makefile.in         &&
    ./configure                                     \
        --bindir=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX/bin/${TEXARCH}     \
        --mandir=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX/texmf-dist/doc/man \
        --with-kpathsea=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX             &&
    make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`--with-kpathsea=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX`: This allows the build system to find the headers for `kpathsea`
