Could the uninstall be semi-automated? Something like: It seems that your computer already contains files from a fish installation, apparently version 1.21.0. They must be uninstalled before doing another install. Inside the directory containing the source code of fish 1.21.0, type sudo make uninstall You can get the source code of fish 1.21.0 from http://fishshell.org, if you do not already have it. Ideally, there would be a script that tries to configure, make and make install automatically and intelligently -- say if it is run without root privilige, ``configure --prefix=$HOME''. It breaks Unix convention, but that convention is not very friendly or interactive. I'm not sure what that script should be called, because the best name is already taken by a script ("install-sh") that does something else. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
