1. I think the standard folder for new programm is /usr/local. But I could be anywhere that make sens. 2. Yes, you need to bee root to install in the /usr/local/ folder. If you don't want that, you could make a dir in place where as a usr you have permission. HTH.

The system informed that I have no permission to create this directory... In this minute, some questions poped-up in my mind...   1 - What is the standard directory that I have to install the softwares? Like "c:\Program Files" in the winsux? 2 - I have to give root powers to my user to install this programs or log as root and install them?   Thanks André Tapxure
