If you want to replace something, then 'make install' or manually copying the just-built binary from your build tree into the final system-wide location will be required (hence you often see instructions recommending './configure && make && sudo make install'). What's more, the default './configure' will not result in 'make install' actually overwriting /bin/whoami, because the default is to install into /usr/local/bin; you have to use './configure --prefix=...' to install into a different location. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
