Two recomendations: 1) stow. If you compile something locally, lookinto using stow to keep everything nice and neat[1] 2) checkinstall. checkinstall can intercept the make install process, and make a package that can be installed or de-installed. I have used stow, I have never used checkinstall. -john [1] Some people do not like the symlink trees that stow uses. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
