Actually, I'm a little guilty, though I often ask others when troubleshooting. I usually just run "make clean". If I see a change in configure or a makefile, then I'll run "make distclean". Occassionally I'll make distclean anyways, to be safe.

I don't know how valid my method is - assuming that only configure and makefile changes require a distclean. But something in the build instructions would probably be good.

There have been lots of emails recently about compiling issues, and one common thread is a question about whether you ran 'make distclean' first.

Is there any reason NOT to always run make distclean? Should it be part of the standard directions?
