cd /else/where mkdir pgbuild (or whatever) cd pgbuild ../../../where/ever/pgsql/configure make make install This basically separates the built files from the source files. So when you do a CVS update and you forgot to clean beforehand, then you can just delete the directory. Then again, the really recommended way to "live dangerously" is to use --enable-depend. This should always be safe except when there are major reorganizations in the source tree.
