If the first "make" fails, no problems: | ||

make html | ||
lynx doc/iputils.html | ||
Read section "Installation notes"... | ||

But if "make html" fails too, check that DocBook package is installed | ||
on your machine. If it is installed, and nevertheless "make" does not work, | ||

## Troubleshooting | ||
If the first `make` fails, no problems: | ||
|
||
make html | ||
lynx doc/iputils.html | ||
Read section "Installation notes"... | ||
|
||
But if `make html` fails too, check that DocBook package is installed | ||
on your machine. If it is installed, and `make` does not work nevertheless, | ||
please [open an issue on github.com] | ||

||
## Install into a prefix | ||
There's no `configure` option to install into a prefix. Use the `DESTDIR` | ||
`make` variable to change the installation target. There's no support for | ||
picking up build dependencies in a prefix. | ||
