PHPBB is not going to require you to compile anything, or run make install - it is all PHP scripts to be run by your WEB server. As for FTP, if you are talking about an FTP server, you should look at the packages available before deciding to build one from source. As a general rule, it is a better idea to install the package from an RPM then to install it from source on a system that uses Redhat Package Management. You also may want to learn a bit more about building programs from source, and the dangers that go with it. If you can not untar, configure, and build the package as a normal user, then you should be careful about building it. You need to be root to install the package if it uses system directories, but not to build it. If you are going to build packages from source, you should also learn to build your own RPMs. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
