Personally, I never use root to install - instead, I configure with, say, --prefix=/tmp/pd-test/ (after making the directory /tmp/pd-test) and then make and make install as a plain user. (If you want that version to stay around put it in your home directory somewhere, e.g., /home/msp/pdinstall or something like that).
Installing as root will do fine until you compile some other version of Pd and can't figure out how to keep them apart. - then you will end up badly confused, as I have :) Miller On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 01:30:21PM +0100, Cyrille Henry wrote: > > > Le 23/01/2015 13:18, Alexandros Drymonitis a écrit : > > > > > >On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 1:46 PM, IOhannes m zmölnig <[email protected] > ><mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > > > On 01/23/2015 10:06 AM, Alexandros Drymonitis wrote: > > > I've compiled Pd-0.46-4 from source, but I'd like to install some > > > libraries.
