The directory is called iso-codes-4.17.0.
Install ISO Codes by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install LN_S='ln -sfn'
LN_S='ln -sfn': This
override ensures the installed symlinks correctly recreated in case
we are upgrading or reinstalling the package. It's unneeded but
harmless when installing the package onto the system for the first
time.
