perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install; To build and install (optional) DBMS support: cd dbms; make; make install; NOTE: the dbmsd(8) code uses old Berkeley DB 1.x style interface. If you can not get it compile, do not disperate and try to use perl land BerkleyDB, DB_File or SDBM_File styles instead :-) (by default the dbmsd get installed under the /RDFStore branch)
