It's probably not a good idea to manually put stuff in /sw. Fink doesn't know to check for changes you manually make there, and so may over-write your files with its own or get confused by the presence or version-difference of something it doesn't expect. You're much safer putting your own stuff in /usr/local or somesuch, or else modifying a copy of the fink package to suite your needs. As a bonus (as was already mentioned) you can see what other configure flags and other non-obvious steps are needed to compile the thing. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
