./autogen --prefix=/usr would be nicer. Don't you think so? It will go with the Fedora principle that we should avoid installing in /usr/local > I am not exactly a "rookie" at building e17 from CVS.

I wasn't referring to you at all when I wrote my email. :) I know that you're not a rookie at building those and you have sufficient experience such that you do not mess up the system. I was pointing out that if you have done a proper installation in whatever manner, the script (generated by switchdesk) should be fine. > When e17 is someday officially released into the community I will get > onboard with rpms. But not now. I do respect your personal choices. I do not force anybody to install RPMS. Whatever people do with their boxes is their own business. I just wanted to point out that if one is using Fedora Core Linux, well RPMS is just the natural way. It is the *heart* of the distro. Well what I just said is not a secret. And everything (scripts, configurations, etc...) in Fedora assumes that you have an RPM package installed. Installing via RPMS will ensure that you keep track of the files /packages you installed (plus you upgrade them easily) and keep your system safe. And that's why I pointed out that such scripts pointed above should not be a concern. Of course for a person that is not a rookie and installing otherwise, it shouldn't be of a concern too! --- With kind regards, Didier. ------------ Yum/apt repository for DR17/EFL: http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~didierbe Didier F.B Casse PhD candidate, Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) National University of Singapore. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
