+I assume you already downloaded the silc-plugin source tarball:
+
+ o http://penguin-breeder.org/silc/download/silc-plugin-1.0.1.tar.gz
+
+PLEASE NOTE:
+
+ I will use the following terms from here on:
+
+  - SILC Plugin directory ($PLUGIN_DIR)
+    This is wherever you have unpacked the silc-plugin-1.0.1.tar.gz
+  - SILC Client directory ($CLIENT_DIR)
+    This is wherever you have unpacked the silc-client-1.0.1.tar.gz
+  - Irssi directory       ($IRSSI_DIR)
+    This is wherever you have unpack the irssi-0.8.9.tar.gz
+
+First you need to untar all three tarballs:
+
+   tar xzf irssi-0.8.9.tar.gz
+   export IRSSI_DIR=`pwd`/irssi-0.8.9
+   tar xzf silc-client-1.0.1.tar.gz

+   tar xzf silc-plugin-1.0.1.tar.gz
+   export PLUGIN_DIR=`pwd`/silc-plugin-1.0.1
+
 Next, you need to configure and compile the SILC Client 1.0.1.
 You should give at least the following options to configure (assuming
 Irssi is installed with prefix /usr):
 
+   cd $CLIENT_DIR
    ./configure  --prefix=/usr \
                 --with-helpdir=/usr/share/irssi/help/silc \
 		--without-libtoolfix \
+		--enable-static \
                 --enable-debug
-   make
+   make -C lib
+
+On some systems libraries have to be "position independent executables",
+you should give option --with-pic to SILC Client's configure script
+on such systems. If you encounter problems with pthread, give option
+--with-pthreads=no to SILC Client's configure script.
 
 During installation, only the help files from the SILC Client's source tree 
 will be installed. You may specify other options needed to compile the SILC 
 Client to fit your needs.
 
 After successfully compiling the SILC Client 1.0.1, unpack the Irssi 0.8.9
-source package and give the following command (assuming you unpacked Irssi
