<P>Get the source distribution of RCS Version 5.7. It is available at
<PRE>
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/vc/rcs-5.7.src.tar.gz
</PRE>
and its mirrors. After you have unpacked the archive into your source
tree, you need to configure RCS for your system. This is done via the
<CODE>configure</CODE> script in the source directory, which you need to
execute first. This will generate a <CODE>Makefile</CODE> and the
appropriate <CODE>conf.sh</CODE> for your system. You can then type
<PRE>
make install
</PRE>
which will build the binaries. At some point you may need to
<CODE>su</CODE> to root so the binaries can be installed in the
correct directories.
