      $ ./configure
      $ make
+     $ make check
      $ make install
  
+If the folder does not contain any `configure` file, please run

 By default ctools installs itself in /usr/local/gamma.  If you need to
 install ctools in a different location or in your home directory, use
 the --prefix option to ./configure.  For example:
  
      $ ./configure --prefix=/home/yourname/projects
      $ make
+     $ make check
      $ make install
  
 The file INSTALL details more about using configure. Also try
  
      $ ./configure --help.
  
+The `make check` command will run an extensive unit test to verify that
+ctools was correctly built.  Make sure that all tests were successful.
