You must be sure to download: `mm-1.1.2.tar.gz`

Before you decompress the tarballs, it is a good idea to make a list of files on the system before you install MM, and one afterwards, and then compare them using diff to find out what file it placed where. Simply run find `/* > MM1` before and find `/* > MM2` after you install the software, and use diff `MM1 MM2 > MM-Installed` to get a list of what changed.

To compile you need to decompress the tarball (tar.gz) first.

            [root@deep /]# cp mm-version.tar.gz /var/tmp
            [root@deep /]# cd /var/tmp
            [root@deep ]/tmp# tar xzpf mm-version.tar.gz
