  to the complex data structures and algorithms required.

For the impatient:

  Configure compile and install the deal.II library with:

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/where/deal.II/should/be/intalled/to ..
  $ make install    (alternatively $ make -j<N> install)
  $ make test
