Hi All,
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't even think my post went through to
the list, I waited 30 minutes and didn't see it come up, so I thought
it was not allowed for some reason. Anyways, thanks very much for the
feedback, it was all very helpfull. I am going to try this out on
Monday.
I agree with the dynamic vs static libraries stuff you guys talked
about, it makes good sense.
This is another generic question but in my dealings with linux I have
found this to be the case. Anything installed by the OS itself (the
distro I mean) is in /usr , anything added seperately by the user
should go in /usr/local or /opt. That being the case...
Lets say you have two apps on your system that need different versions
if the same program, lets use openssl as an example. One only works
with 0.9.6 (lets say this is installed by the distro) and one needs
0.9.7 or higher. Is it okay to compile and install the 0.9.7 on the
system as long as it is in /usr/local ? there will be no issues as
long as they ae in seperate directories and you tell the apps in need
where to look for them?
I assume apps automatically look in /usr first and then /usr/local
I will do my research and get back to you guys so that others my
benefit from my work as well!
Regards

Substitute 'make install" with "checkinstall" (see man).
