Because I did mine while sued in and now I am worried that I have messed up... Compiling qt3 on EW3.1? I have always done it with su, never as a real root, and don't have any problems. su or real login has no effect at all in any fashion on your user permissions. In fact, 'su -' is 'just like logging in'. Without the '-' option to su, you miss the user's login scripts, but permissions ar the same. root's login scripts don't change anything at all relative to compiling. So, if there is a problem, look elsewhere. Did you compile qt in one place and then move it? That is the main no no. The main reason for compiling qt as root is so the libs will belong to other that a normal user, improving security if the file permissions are right. I don't know if qt leaves compiled libs in such a way that they cannot be replaced by other than the lib's owners (e.g., read-only for EVERYONE). Packages that have an install step usually do this. But qt just compiles and goes. In fact, you mentioned a possible messup. But, in fact, has anything gone wrong? -- ++===+ | Roger Oberholtzer | E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | OPQ Systems AB | WWW: http://www.opq.se/ | | Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 |Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 | | 115 32 Stockholm | Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 | | Sweden | Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 | ++===+ ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
