Randy, I 'm not 100% sure the problem is in the tarball. Many times I'll do make DESTDIR=/tmp/pkgname install and the user will be me, not root. Copied file ownership depend on the options. For instance 'cp -a source dest' preserves the owner. Yes, I know that you know that, but generally my techniques are slightly different. I'll do an unprivileged 'make install', check things out and then a 'sudo make install'. My latest ff install (October) installed as root. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
