Installation of VTE

Install VTE by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --disable-gtk-doc &&
make &&
make install

Command explanations

--libexecdir=/usr/sbin: This switch puts libexec files in /usr/sbin instead of /usr/libexec.

--disable-gtk-doc: This switch prevents the building of documentation as the directories are currently empty and will cause errors in the make command if this switch is missing.

The VTE package contains libvte libraries, vte and gnome-pty-helper
