    # load the coda kernel module, kldload coda or something

If everything worked ok you should see 2 directories and a file named
'WELCOME'.

lwp, rvm and rpc2 use automake so I think gmake is not really necessary
anymore, but there may still be some gnu artifacts around, I think I
removed the one more from rpc2 not too long ago. I still want to move
the main Coda source to automake to simplify the build and get rid of
the remaining gmake dependencies.

As far as other build dependencies, I think the following are the
minimal needed one, but they tend to come installed on most systems,

    pkg-config, libreadline5-dev, libncurses5-dev, g++, flex, bison or yacc

    (these were listed as build dependencies on a debian system)

To remove everything from your system, the automake based libraries have
a convenient uninstall target, for Coda itself everything 'should' have
ended up under /usr/coda. I haven't actually tried installing outside
of /usr or /usr/local in a while though.
