Thanks for the the tips. For my downloaded tar.gz files i've created a directory 'Generate' in my home folder to clean up my desktop.
On configuring, make and make install as root i had my cleanest (least warning messages) configuration yet. > ln -s /usr/local/saballistics-1.3.2/bin/saballistics /usr/local/bin tried this link but program still refuses to execute. is there a way of finding out (log file?) where the .exe program is falling over?
