I guess I do it too! <heh> Quite honstly, i think almost nobody should be installing libraries from source. Rather, I think people should install the pre-packaged library from their distribution. The only exception to the above, is developers actually working on the library and the hopefully rare cases where a developer needs to test a bleedign edge version of a library that the distribution has not yet packaged. As a library author myself, the only two libraries on my system that were installed from source are libsndfile and libsamplerate.
