-  xindy requires GNU clisp and GNU libffcall.  If you can find
-  prepackaged versions for your system, go ahead and use them; their
-  precise version shouldn't matter.
-  
-  If you need or want to compile them from source, here is what karl did
-  on i386-linux -- but install the latest GNU libtool first:
-
-wget http://www.haible.de/bruno/gnu/ffcall-1.10.tar.gz
-tar xf ffcall-1.10.tar.gz && cd ffcall-1.10
-configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnu --enable-shared \
-&& make && make install  # as usual
-
-wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/latest/clisp-2.44.1.tar.gz
-tar xf clisp-2.44.1.tar.gz && cd clisp-2.44.1
-configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnu --ignore-absence-of-libsigsegv \
-  --with-libffcall-prefix=/usr/local/gnu \
-&& cd src && make && make install
+mkdir clisp; cd clisp
+clisp_basedir=`pwd`
+clisp_toolsdir=$clisp_basedir/clisp-tools
+clisp_builddir=$clisp_basedir/clisp-build
+mkdir $clisp_toolsdir
 
-  Of course, adjust paths as desired.
+cd $clisp_basedir
+wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libsigsegv/libsigsegv-2.5.tar.gz
+gzip -dc libsigsegv-2.5.tar.gz | tar xf -
+cd libsigsegv-2.5
+./configure --prefix=$clisp_toolsdir && make && make check && make install
 
-  clisp complains about my stack size being too small and I should run
-  ulimit, but I ignored that.  (If you actually care about clisp per se,
-  you should probably also install GNU libsigsegv; I didn't.)
-
-  Both tarballs are also available at ftp://tug.org/dist.
-
-  (Failed variation: clisp failed to link against static libffcall,
-   apparently wanting a dynamic library.  Not sure if configure
-   --without-dynamic-modules would have solved it.)
+cd $clisp_basedir
+wget http://www.haible.de/bruno/gnu/ffcall-1.10.tar.gz
+gzip -dc ffcall-1.10.tar.gz | tar xf -
+cd ffcall-1.10
