I know it is most efficient to install software system wide so all users
share same code. But I have a situation where I want to install only to my
home directory. i.e. It is Linux system where I don't have sudo privilege.
Is that possible?
I am building from source, so perhaps
./configure

Hi,
I'm pleased you've found a fix for this. A while ago I looked into how
to get Poly/ML to install on hardened systems such as SELinux and
OpenBSD and fixed a problem with dynamically created code which
generally requires an area of memory to be both executable and
