If you have gcc already, then you should be okay.
I just downloaded cksfv-1.3.10.tar.gz (which ended up being an
ungzipped tar archive even though the file name still had the .gz on
the end).
So a 'mv cksv-1.3.10.tar.gz cksv-1.3.10.tar' and a 'tar -xvf
cksv-1.3.10' and I had a new directory.
I cd'd to cdsv-1.3.10 and ran './configure' which worked fine.
Then I ran 'make' and 'make install' and voila.
Of course, the directories it defaults to putting it in may not be in
your path. The '/usr/local' directories are in my path, but I can't
remember if I added them myself or if they are automatically put
there.
