I regularly come across install instructions that say: 1. ./configure 2. make 3. su (enter root password) 4. make install I wonder what would happen if I skipped step 3? Probably run into permission problems, I expect. So I, too, install as 'root' darn it! Can we trust all contributors to sourceforge etc? Yuri
