I read that document and the INSTALL file from the source. Before I install Kexi from source I am hoping someone can answer the questions below. Forgive the basic nature of these questions; I have only used a package manager in the past to install software. Thanks to anyone who can help educate me :). ---------- Questions: ---------- 1- Can I build and install just Kexi and not the entire KOffice suite? How? 2- For macros, scripts, pgsql and mysql it looks like I don't need any ./configure options based on the following from "./configure --help": --enable-mysql build MySQL-plugin default=yes --enable-pgsql build PostgreSQL-plugin default=yes --enable-kexi-macros build Kexi macro plugin (EXPERIMENTAL) default=yes --enable-scripting build scripting library (Kross) default=yes 3- Why use --prefix=/opt/kde3/koffice versus default? What is the benefit? 4- Should I uninstall my current version of Kexi (1.1.0) first which was installed from the Kbuntu repositories. 5- Later when I want to move from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 what is the general process? 6- How to uninstall or remove Kexi when installed in this manner? If --prefix=/opt/kde3/koffice is used can that directory simply be deleted? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
