+# Running `make distcheck`
+
+The `make distcheck` command will built a release tarball, extract it,
+compile it and test it. However, part of the `make install` process
+within that command will try to install the gdk-pixbuf loader in your
+system location, and it will fail.
+
+Please run `make distcheck` like this:
+
+```
+$ make distcheck DESTDIR=/tmp/foo
+```
+
+That `DESTDIR` will keep the gdk-pixbuf loader installation from
+trying to modify your system locations.
