That hasn't been my experience. "./configure" followed by "make" puts a "bash" executable file in the top-level directory, but doesn't do anything in ./examples/loadables/ at all. After "make", I copy the "bash" program to /usr/local/bin/bash-whatever and then adjust the symbolic links that I keep there. I do not use "make install". lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 12 Jun 3 10:12 /usr/local/bin/bash-5.3 -> bash-5.3-rc2* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 4806440 Apr 14 23:09 /usr/local/bin/bash-5.3-rc1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 4791664 Jun 3 10:12 /usr/local/bin/bash-5.3-rc2*
