Hello Marco, I'm not a expert, so maybe there is a better ways to do this. I have this in my .bashrc: (I install the programs/libraries in ~/local) export PATH=~/local/bin:~/bin:${PATH} export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=~/local/lib/pkgconfig/:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH} Then, when I want to compile something, I use ./autogen --prefix=/home/jjardon/local and then make; make install to compile (It will use the libraries manually installed in ~/local) and install the program in ~/local Hope helps, -- Javier Jardón Cabezas _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
