Download it to your home directory (or a subdir), untar and build it as yourself (not root!), and su -c "make install". For more complicated programs, I like to use --prefix=/usr/local/$pkgname/$pkgversion so all of its files are easily contained. Then I create that directory, chown it to me, run 'make install' as me, and chown it all to root afterwards. -- Garrick Staples, GNU/Linux HPCC SysAdmin University of Southern California Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
